Ask HN: Can you tell me your experiences in testing microservices?

8 points by wpasc 8y ago ↗ HN

Hello, I am writing a paper on microservices testing strategies for a class on software engineering. I am hoping to survey developers who have worked on a microservice architecture. Your responses are deeply appreciated!

Just to be not rude but most people hate these surveys (correct me If I am wrong at least I do).

A better way to go about collecting same information.

1. First, do your own little research. StackOverflow and other tech forums might be a good place to start.

2. Then have a discussion about specific points.

I fully understand people's dislike of surveys. I have done a bunch of research on testing microservices (read a few papers and the blog posts of devs and netflix/spotify/uber), but the only reason I included a survey is that it is a specific deliverable for the paper :( was hoping to get a few responses

Unisys has some pretty good models. I know virtustream has done a decent job. Sorry I don't have any real data for you but I can say that microservices are a much better (or should I say, more "direct and fair") way to consume cloud apps. Many customers are now paying astronomical prices for SLAs that simply aren't sustainable. Until consumers catch on I don't believe providers will push them due to revenue.
