Test Case Scenario

To shift or not to shift – that is the question. If you’ve been around the software development world lately, you’ve likely heard of shift-left – the practice of integrating testing, security, and operations early in the software development lifecycle to detect issues early. This approach is meant to be a win-win-win – saving time, money, and headaches. But is it as great in practice as it sounds in theory? In this episode, we debate the real-world benefits of shift-left and get to the heart of the issue: testing well. Join us as we discuss: 01:15 Defining shift-left 02:00 Disadvantages of shift-left 05:50 Advantages of shift-left 06:50 Continuous testing 08:00 No-shift testing 11:00 The purpose of testing 13:00 Platform engineering 14:45 The answer to the testing debate We’d love to hear from you!

Back in the 2000s, code lived in one execution thread. Database queries, user interactions, and data pipelines were all managed by the same processes. The problem? Everything was interconnected and interdependent. Fixing one thing might break another. Releases were all or nothing. We call this monolith hell. Your ticket out? Microservices. In this episode, we explain the problem with monoliths, the benefits of microservices, and risks to consider. And to make it extra fun, we’re doing it game show style. You’ll learn the pros and cons of different architecture approaches with analogies to help the information stick. Join us as we discuss: 01:30 The problem with monolithic architecture 05:10 Deploying microservices independently 05:40 Sauce Orchestrate and Docker 06:50 Managing communication between applications 07:35 Avoiding conflicts using microservices 10:00 Service mesh design pattern 11:00 Drawbacks of microservices We’d love to hear from you!
