Easy Java Integrations Testing with Testcontainers
summary
Shows how to replace brittle local mocks with a reproducible 3-container test environment using Testcontainers and Docker, wiring a Java MicroProfile service on Payara Micro to Postgres and RabbitMQ and executing integration suites with JUnit 5. Walks through the actual Maven/Testcontainers setup and helper classes used, a demo project that runs locally and in CI, and concrete results: setup boilerplate falls from dozens of lines to under 50 and flaky failures disappear.
