Imagine an organization with the following practices:
- Commits code on GitHub
- Runs its CI/CD pipelines with GitHub Actions
- Runs its production workload on Kubernetes
- Uses Google Cloud
A new engineer manager arrives and asks for the following:
On every PR, run integration tests in a Kubernetes cluster similar to the production one.
It sounds reasonable.
Engineering manager: I want #integrationtests to run on the app deployed on #Cloud infra for each #GitHub PR ✅ Me, thinking it's a no-brainer: sure thing! 🤦♂️ Me, after 85 runs: I have content for my next blog post/talk 😅
