DockerDogs - TestContainers + GoDogs

I’ve always been fond of Behavior-Driven Development (BDD)

GoDog is a BDD Given-When-Then framework -

Restored Content (Test)

This is a test to verify that the single post layout is working correctly. If you can see this text, the layout is fine, and the original file content was truncated/missing.

What is TestContainers?

TestContainers is a Java library that supports JUnit tests, providing lightweight, throwaway instances of common databases, Selenium web browsers, or anything else that can run in a Docker container.

What is GoDog?

Cucumber for Go.

About Me

I am a Senior/Lead Site Reliability Engineer (SRE) at TikTok, where I collaborate with multiple teams across many countries to maintain systems at massive global scale.

I define myself as a driven Polyglot Engineer. I don’t just use tools; I build them. Deeply involved in AI Engineering—creating and fine-tuning models rather than just consuming APIs.

My passion lies in the deep end of technology: Embedded Systems, Reverse Engineering (Hacking), and Quantum Computing. I obsess over Design Patterns and advanced system architecture, specializing in microservice patterns like Live Context, RPC, and mTLS.

I know a lot because I never stop learning. Whether it’s optimizing a high-frequency trading bot or securing an IoT network, I bring a depth of knowledge and a hacker’s mindset to every challenge.
