Jumping into a massive infrastructure codebase as an intern can be intimidating. But here’s what made onboarding smoother: unit testing with Kubernetes APIs and fake clients.
This talk shares my experience of working on unit tests for an infra plumbing component of a data lakehouse.

The journey from being overwhelmed by Go and Kubernetes to realizing that unit testing is the best entry point to understanding large-scale cloud-native systems will be explored.

The session highlights why Kubernetes APIs make testing easier, introduces informers, controllers, and API behaviors and how they help in testing, how fake clients eliminate the need for a real cluster, and why this is a great starting point for interns and students working on their first cloud-based project.

Attendees will gain insights into the advantages of Kubernetes API interactions and testing, including speed, reliability, comprehensive coverage, and improved developer experience.
