Unit tests are performed on a single unit of code, usually on a specific function, variable or flow. They allow us to test the components in isolation and validate each single component’s reliability in turn. In this article we’ll introduce the concept of Swift unit testing, and explain, at a high level, why you should carry them out, how you can start developing your iOS apps in a test driven development methodology and how you can write Swift unit test cases.

Microservices architecture has emerged as a popular approach for developing software applications in recent years. Instead of building monolithic applications, microservices architecture involves breaking down an application into smaller, independent services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. This approach offers a number of benefits, including increased flexibility, better scalability, and improved fault tolerance.

At Integrate.io, we work with companies that build data pipelines. Some start cloud-native on platforms like Amazon Redshift, while others migrate from on-premise or hybrid solutions. What they all have in common is the one question they ask us at the very beginning: And so that’s why we decided to compile and publish a list of publicly available blog posts about how companies build their data pipelines.
