Hey @sameena syed, I saw your question in general, had a go at answering a few below https://pact-foundation.slack.com/archives/C5F4KFKR8/p1670325812233529 Thanks for joining the channel. You asked say 4 q's 1. Can you automate testing of gRPC with Pact a. Yes. with the Pact-protobuf-plugin. https://github.com/pactflow/pact-protobuf-plugin 2. Can you test Kafka with Pact. a. We have some examples with the existing Pact framework (some are Pactflow branded but work with the OSS broker) i. https://docs.pact.io/recipes/kafka ii. https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/examples/kafka/js/consumer iii. https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/examples/kafka/java/consumer iv. https://docs.pactflow.io/docs/examples/kafka/java/provider b. We do not currently have a Kafka plugin, You can request or vote for one of our Canny feature request board https://pact.canny.io/ 3. gRPC testing is only available through plugins - https://docs.pact.io/plugins 4. Plugins will be supported by any Pact implementation using the underlying Rust framework, that supports V4 Pact specification (and utilses plugins) a. There is some small amount of work to do, to introduce plugin support to pact-net. We can help provide advice to yourself to aid the main maintainer Adam Rodgers. b. If the language doesn't support it, but is capable of supporting FFI calls, a user could build out a Pact framework with support for plugins. I am fairly new to the world of gRPC and haven't used Kafka in production, but always happy to learn new things and help you along

Thanks @Yousaf Nabi (pactflow.io) for the detailed info, i just started looking in to these implementations. I will post my future questions in this channel if i see any issues while doing a poc

Please do! We look forward to following your journey and wish you all the success

It should be noted that we don’t yet have support in Pact .NET (C#), but as we produce more developer/maintainer material we’d hope to work with the language maintainers to adopt the framework/feature
