Claudia vs Pact

Claudia vs Pact: What are the differences?

What is Claudia? Deploy Node.js microservices to AWS Lambda and API Gateway easily. Claudia helps you deploy Node.js microservices to Amazon Web Services easily. It automates and simplifies deployment workflows and error prone tasks, so you can focus on important problems and not have to worry about AWS service quirks.

What is Pact? Fast, easy and reliable testing for your APIs and microservices during development. It is a code-first tool for testing HTTP and message integrations using contract tests. Contract tests assert that inter-application messages conform to a shared understanding that is documented in a contract. Without contract testing, the only way to ensure that applications will work correctly together is by using expensive and brittle integration tests.

Claudia and Pact can be primarily classified as "Microservices" tools.

Some of the features offered by Claudia are:

• Create or update Lambda functions and Web APIs from Node.js projects hassle-free
• Automatically configure the Lambda function for commonly useful tasks
• Automatically set up API Gateway resources the way Javascript developers expect them to work

On the other hand, Pact provides the following key features:

• Support for JavaScript, JVM, .NET, Python, Go, Ruby, PHP, Swift and more
• Get fast, reliable feedback on the compatibility of your integrations
• Ensures all your services are compatible with each other before you deploy

Claudia and Pact are both open source tools. Claudia with 3.45K GitHub stars and 243 forks on GitHub appears to be more popular than Pact with 196 GitHub stars and 93 GitHub forks.
