Writing isolated (integration)tests with TestContainers

Read Original

This article explains the benefits of integration tests over unit tests and introduces TestContainers as a solution for testing with real external systems (like databases, message brokers) in isolation. It details how TestContainers provides lightweight, disposable Docker containers defined as code, avoiding the pitfalls of mocks, shared live instances, and complex environment setups.
