Looking forward to the rest of the series. I wonder if you plan on targeting higher level tests. I mean, unit tests are mostly easy. But how do you test request-to-response with all the middleware, controllers, database and microservices. That has always kept me wondering. How people efficiently do that.

Thanks for the feedback! That's a super interesting topic but maybe beyond the scope of this series. I do plan to talk about acceptance testing when covering outside-in TDD but that's about as high level as I plan to go.

There are a lot of interesting strategies for example something like chaos monkey which turns off random containers to flush out faults.

I will keep this in mind and can maybe do a follow up series!
