Using Traffic Mirroring to Debug and Test Microservices in Production-Like Environments

Traffic mirroring has evolved from a network security tool to a robust method for debugging and testing microservices using real-world data. By safely duplicating production traffic to a shadow environment, teams can replicate elusive bugs, profile performance under actual load, validate new features, and detect regressions, ensuring that production remains isolated and user experiences intact.

About the conference

The target audience for GOTO conferences are software developers, IT architects and project managers. GOTO Aarhus is an annual event in Denmark. The idea for GOTO (formerly known as JAOO) came about as the management at Trifork was dissatisfied with the conferences that existed and wanted to create a forum that would give the development staff inspiration, energy and desire to learn coupled with the chance to network with the IT community.
