#1 Talk

Adam Crow

Building Trust in your infrastructure: Go and Terratest at Scale

About the Talk:

In this talk, I’ll walk through how to use Go to test your Terraform infrastructure code using Terratest. Starting with a skeleton architecture, we’ll explore how to write unit, integration, and end-to-end tests for cloud resources, all in Go. I’ll also share how this skeleton architecture pattern was adopted across Wealth and Personal Banking projects at one of the major global banks.Whether you're automating cloud infrastructure or building internal platforms, you'll see how Go can be a powerful ally in bringing testing discipline to your Terraform workflows.
