Run Specs and Avoid Wrecks – A “Speed With Seatbelts” Lab

Contract‑first thinking solves the “works‑on‑my‑machine” gap between API providers and consumers, yet finding a seamless end‑to‑end workflow can be tricky. In this 50‑minute guided session you’ll shepherd an API through its entire lifecycle—drafting the spec, generating realistic examples, spinning up REST and Kafka mocks, and running contract tests that fail (and then pass) as the spec evolves—using a browser‑based GUI that shields you from CLI complexity. You’ll leave with a working sample project, a repeatable playbook, and the confidence to embed contract testing into your CI/CD pipelines.
