pact

pact simplified - less is more as one famous guy said

• Pact workflow:

1. client defines, test itself against, and publishes contract(s)
2. provider(s) verifies contract
3. client deploys

• act workflow:

1. 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.
