      True. Nothing beats running your unit tests in the actual container image that will be run in production.

        I mean, isn’t that kind of the point of containers? To basically have the same environment everywhere.

          Unit tests can’t win ’em all. That’s where things like integration tests, staging environments, and load testing come in.

          The final layer of protection is the deployment strategy, be it rolling, canary, or blue-geen.

        Yeah, and it’s useful to just check everything so you don’t forget to add some essential system package for e.g. SSL, especially when working with Alpine.
