Locks API expectations between services with consumer-driven contracts so refactors fail in CI instead of during a coordinated deploy weekend.
Use cases
- Service splits
- Public SDK prep
- Versioned internal APIs
Key features
- Capture examples as contracts
- Run provider verification in CI
- Block merges when contracts drift

Safe refactoring
Splits refactors into small, test-backed steps—rename, extract, move—so behavior stays pinned while structure improves.
Test-driven development
Uses red–green–refactor loops so behavior is pinned by tests first—ideal for new features, regressions, and refactors where you need a safety net.
API design and versioning
Shapes REST or RPC surfaces with predictable errors, pagination, and deprecation rules before implementation locks you into brittle clients.
