What problem does it solve?

This skill provides a structured approach to using Testcontainers for Go to run integration tests with Docker containers, reducing flaky tests and simplifying setup and cleanup.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Pre-configured modules: Access 62+ ready-to-use modules for databases, queues, cloud services, and more to speed test environments.
  • Simplified container lifecycle: Start, connect, and tear down containers with consistent APIs and cleanup patterns.
  • Multi-service scenarios: Build integration tests across databases, caches, and messaging systems in isolated environments.

Quick Start

Install the required Go packages, initialize a testcontainers-go workflow, and start a container cluster using the modules. For example, start a PostgreSQL container using the postgres module and retrieve a connection string for your tests.
