CDCT using Cloud Contract for Python

Why not using Pact?

For our usecase, we need support for messaging. In the consumer-driven contract testing world, the most popular solution is Pact.

Pact for Python has two competing solutions:

• Pact Python
• Pactman

Pact Python

Pact-python does not currently support messaging, although work is ongoing: pact-foundation/pact-python#88

Work has initially started, but has stalled since January (at the time of writing): pact-foundation/pact-python#119

Pactman

Pactman does not currently support messaging (although they claim to support the Pact specification v3): reecetech/pactman#68

Why using Cloud Contract?

Cloud Contract does support messaging, and now also supports a polyglot solution: https://spring.io/blog/2018/02/13/spring-cloud-contract-in-a-polyglot-world

This repository demonstrates that solution.
