🔗 Supercharge Your Go Tests Using Fake HTTP Services

Testing is a critical part of building reliable and maintainable Go applications. When your code interacts with external HTTP services, relying on real HTTP requests during tests can lead to flaky and inconsistent results. Network issues, rate limits, or changes in external APIs can all cause your tests to fail unpredictably. By using fake HTTP services, you can simulate real-world scenarios in a controlled environment, ensuring your tests are fast, reliable, and repeatable. In this article, we’ll explore how to set up fake HTTP services in Go to improve the confidence you have in your systems and streamline your testing process.
