Replicating Prod on your Laptop using the Magic of Container
summary
Shows how to reproduce production locally by booting real Docker containers and running true‑to‑prod integration tests with testcontainers and microShed Testing against an Open Liberty runtime. Demo spins up multiple containers (demo runs six in parallel), converts JUnit tests into containerized tests, exercises HTTP readiness checks and browser UI tests with video capture, and reports green test runs — proof that the setup actually works and speeds local dev/CI parity.
