pact simplified - less is more as one famous guy said
- Pact workflow:
- client defines, test itself against, and publishes contract(s)
- provider(s) verifies contract
- client deploys
- act workflow:
- client defines, test itself against, publishes contract(s) and deploys
act performs contract validation when the contract gets publishes allowing step 2 and 3 in the pact workflow to be eliminated.
