    Testing with added infrastructure can be quite tricky. testcontainers aims to solve this by providing an open-source framework for providing local, lightweight containers for your application that can be immediately thrown away after use. It also has a Rust SDK!

    Add tests! You can use testcontainers to spin up Docker containers for Postgres and other infrastructure which makes testing your database extremely easy. You can find more about this here.

    Do you manually spin up the containers or do you use testcontainers?

    For the repo testing, that’s simple. https://github.com/testcontainers/testcontainers-rs will start a Docker image and you just use that when instantiating the repo.

    Thanks for sharing! I'm still a beginner with Rust and still pretty new to testing in general - is there any benefit to using something like this over bringing up the service as a separate container using something like testcontainers? I suppose the biggest one is this is in-memory and doesn't require the party running tests to have Docker available locally. The tradeoff is the extra work to create all the mocks (i.e. my library has several dozen endpoints).

    Axum is excellent, especially the channel on Discord. The author is a wonderful chap, very helpful to newbies like me. Here’s a REST starter for anyone looking with Redis as a backend. https://github.com/bsodmike/axum-rest-starter-example
