Are Monolith CI/CD Pipelines Killing Quality in Your Software?

When development and DevOps teams started adding testing to their CI/CD pipelines for monolithic applications, they unlocked enormous benefits. With more complex microservice architectures, spanning multiple clusters and dozens or hundreds of individual nodes, one way for teams to keep up with the complexity of their cluster was to build enormously complex CI/CD pipelines.

In the end, they built CI/CD pipelines that resembled the monolithic applications that cloud native got us away from in the first place.

Unfortunately, testing often gets tightly coupled with monolithic CI/CD pipelines in that they’re entirely dependent on one another.

Using Testkube for Cloud Native Testing in Your CI/CD Pipeline https://testkube.kubeshop.io/ is an open source testing framework that allows you to execute, orchestrate and visualize all of your tests in the Kubernetes-native way.
