Rethinking How We Test Our Async Architecture

Explore innovative approaches to testing asynchronous architectures in this GopherCon 2021 talk by Tom Lyons. Discover how CrowdStrike reliably tests async services in production using real data, and learn about the challenges and solutions for processing large amounts of information. Gain insights into complex integration test flows, understand the importance of context in testing, and explore the concept of "memoirs" for effective async service evaluation. Delve into practical strategies for implementing NOOP operations and optimizing test placement within your architecture.
