Wiring Cloud Native Applications for Local Development
summary
A small Pizza Store of four microservices runs locally with the same application-level APIs it uses in production, showing developers can iterate without a Kubernetes cluster. The team wires a Dapr sidecar into the local process and uses a Testcontainers integration to programmatically start the sidecar and backing services (Postgres, Kafka), run isolated repeatable tests, and get connection URLs automatically — the integration works end-to-end and is published.
