For most of my software engineering career, my experience with DevOps was all about configuration management. But after many years of experience with some key mentors, I began to see DevOps as so much more. In this article, I’ll summarize my DevOps evolution from a high level. If you’d like to go further in-depth, check out the recording from my Destination: Automation presentation below.
Cloud native API Testing comes with a lot of challenges. In this video see how to overcome these challenges with the novel approach of traffic replay.
