       Show HN: Open-source cypress for back end testing
        
       For the past few months we've been building a simple
       jest/typescript-based high-level language for writing and running
       integration tests. We're open-sourcing it now and are excited to
       share it with you: https://github.com/traceloop/jest-opentelemetry
       Why we built this:  - There are many solid frameworks for FE /
       browser testing, but none with high-level constructs for testing BE
       flows  - We were missing a way to validate side effects for complex
       backend systems, especially across async queueing systems  Our beta
       version lets you send an API call to a system and then:  - Validate
       (=assert) calls to any downstream microservice in REST and GRPC  -
       Validate queries/writes to DBs  Assertions are validated through
       the use of OpenTelemetry, as we see it as an easy-to-use way to
       observe how backend systems behave.  We're still early so would
       love your feedback and opinions.  It's all open-source with Apache
       2.0 license.  GitHub: https://github.com/traceloop/jest-
