Event Driven Architecture: Love Triangle in Integration Testing | Andres Sacco | TestMu 2025
In this TestMu Conference 2025 session, 𝐀𝐧𝐝𝐫𝐞𝐬 𝐒𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨, Technical Leader at TravelX, unravels the “love triangle” of applications, events, and databases in event-driven architectures.
Through practical demos with MongoDB, AWS SQS (via LocalStack), Docker, Testcontainers, and Karate, Andres shows how to design effective integration tests that go beyond unit testing and truly validate your event-driven systems.
If you’re working with EDA, microservices, or asynchronous workflows, this talk is a must-watch to learn how to build reliable, maintainable, and production-grade integration tests.
How to create integration tests for microservices that use events.
How to verify if a database has changed after processing an event.
Strategies to check event-driven workflows end-to-end with containers.
Best practices for test isolation, retries, and cleaning up events.
How to write tests that are simple and readable for everyone.
