Mocking Serverless & gRPC: When Mockito Isn’t Enough

Modern distributed systems combine serverless functions and gRPC microservices, creating new testing challenges that traditional mocking tools can’t handle. Let’s explore robust solutions for these architectures. 1. The Limitations of Classic Mocking (Mockito) While Mockito works well for typical Java classes, it falls short for: gRPC services (complex stub generation) Serverless dependencies (AWS SDK, DynamoDB, SQS) Protocol …
