Next Steps

Hopefully, this section provided some of the Spring Cloud Contract basics and got you on your way to writing your own applications. If you are a task-oriented type of developer, you might want to jump over to spring.io and check out some getting started guides that solve specific “How do I do that with Spring?” problems. We also have Spring Cloud Contract-specific “how-to” reference documentation.

Otherwise, the next logical step is to read Using Spring Cloud Contract. If you are really impatient, you could also jump ahead and read about Spring Cloud Contract features.

In addition, you can check out the following videos:
