Testcontainers for Go is a Go package that makes it simple to create and clean up container-based dependencies for automated integration/smoke tests. The clean, easy-to-use API enables developers to programmatically define containers that should be run as part of a test and clean up those resources when the test is done.

Ask HN: What's your favorite software testing framework and why?
You can also load fixtures in database directly, work with Kafka queues both as a producer (e.g. write an event to a Kafka queue, wait a few seconds and see that it was consumed by the service you test, and that some side effects can be observed) or as a consumer (e.g. make sure after an HTTP call, an event was correctly pushed to a queue), or even read a mailbox in IMAP to check that your service correctly send an email.
It's a bit rough on the edges sometimes, but I'd never go back on writing integration tests directly in my programming language. Declarative is the way to go.

Show HN: Step CI – API Testing and Monitoring Made Simple
From my experience, generated tests are worthless for anything more serious than smoke tests. I prefer working with no tests than automated tests, I feel they give you a false sense of confidence.
The Step CI engine itself looks good though. It looks like a cleaner, but less powerful version of a tool (open source, build in-house) we used when I worked at OVHcloud, Venom: https://github.com/ovh/venom
Here's an example test file for the HTTP executor of Venom: https://github.com/ovh/venom/blob/master/tests/http.yml it's very close to Step CI format.
I'd still use Venom because it's way more powerful (you have DB executors for example, so after executing a POST request you can actually check in DB that you have what you expect) and I prefer focusing on actually writing integration tests instead of generating them.
Maybe this post sounds harsh (I feel it as I write it because I have strong feelings against test generation) but I think your approach is a good one for actually writing automated tests. Testing APIs declaratively like this has a great benefit: your tests work on an interface. You can migrate your API to a whole new stack and your tests remain the same. I did it multiple time at OVHcloud: one time migrating a huge API from a Go router to another (Gin->Echo), and another time migrating public APIs from a legacy, in-house Perl engine to a Go server.

Debugging with GDB
I still struggle with GDB but my excuse is that I seldom use it.
When I was studying reverse engineering though, I came across a really cool kit (which I've yet to find an alternative for lldb, which would be nice given: rust)
I'd recommend checking it out, if for no other reason than it makes a lot of things really obvious (like watching what value lives in which register).
LLDB's closest alternative to this is called Venom, but it's not the same at all. https://github.com/ovh/venom

Do you write integration tests in go?
We incorporated [Venom](https://github.com/ovh/venom) into our workflow. It's great for initiating and managing a suite of yaml based tests. It didn't work out of the box for us due to the heavily asynchronous nature of our system, but after a few additions, it has helped my team greatly. We were often afraid to make large changes to critical pieces of the system since a full regression test could take a week or so to check everything. Now it takes an hour.
