Contributing to open-source projects has always been a goal of mine, and I was thrilled to have the opportunity to submit a pull request to the pact-python project. The change itself was a simple one, but it played a crucial role in integrating Pact into our testing suite at TravelPerk.
At TravelPerk, we needed a reliable way to perform contract testing between our microservices, and pact-python was the perfect fit. However, we ran into a minor issue that my pull request helped resolve. This contribution not only improved our own processes but also gave me the chance to give back to the open-source community that we rely on.
Even though it was a small contribution, it was a satisfying experience to see my work merged and to know that it’s helping others in the community as well.
