Look inside

Travel World Agency (TWA) has enjoyed rapid growth, but its computing costs have risen along with its success. Before implementing potentially disruptive cost-reducing measures to their next-gen system running on Amazon Web Services (AWS), it needs to improve the quality of its microservices. As a senior developer, your task is to detect whether any change in the request/response of the endpoints might affect the rest of the microservices. You’ll use Pact to define the contract between multiple microservices using the HTTP method, the name of the endpoint, and the requests and responses. By the end, you’ll be able to detect problems that could result from a change to the name, HTTP method, or the attributes that contain the requests and responses of one endpoint.

This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.
