Plural x Kubernetes July Meetup, guest speaker Noam Levy (topic: End-to-End Testing with Kubernetes and networking magic)

Our guest speaker is Noam Levy, Field CTO at groundcover. His topic is "Fast, Consistent, and Scalable: End-to-End Testing with Kubernetes and networking magic." Bring your questions :)

Session Description:

E2E tests are critical, but they often come at the cost of speed, consistency, and developer experience. Catching regressions early shortens feedback loops, boosts confidence, and helps developers move fast without cutting corners. Our solution is:

- Databases run in a remote Kubernetes cluster

- Local dev environments connect via lightweight networking tools

- Tests run locally, using real infrastructure, with identical behavior in CI

In this talk, we will demo this architecture with blazing-fast performance, a unified test suite across environments, and the ability to scale infrastructure centrally as tests grow.

Schedule:

6:00pm - door opens

6:30pm - intros (please arrive by this time!)

6:40pm - speaker programming

7:20pm - networking 

8:00pm - event ends

We will have food and drinks during this event. Please arrive no later than 6:30pm so we can get started promptly. Invites are non-transferable.
