What do you mean by this, exactly?
It's a tool for housing contracts of applications you've described

06/11/2024, 8:40 AMHi Matt, I’m speaking from the BE: I’ve completed a milestone integration between FE/BE providing Cypress/ OpenAPI spec respectively - would this be the same if we were using PactFlow for pact tests between two BE microservices both of whom provide OpenAPI specs? It seems the answer is yes, but just making sure!

hmmm so PactFlow’s bi-directional contract testing feature supports OpenAPI specs, but the open source Pact Broker doesn’t.
Is that what you’re asking?

Pact + Pact Broker = Pact testing only (which supports RESTful services, EDAs etc. but does not support using OAS as the contract)
PactFlow = Pact + BDCT
