Note that just summarizing the whole PR to a 7k line Apprunner plugin is a bit of a stretch. There are actually multiple plugins and multiple DSL to support many use cases.
A Testcontainers approach could be an option, when Docker images are available. The tradeoff being that it will require Docker to be properly setup, as opposed to natively running in the users preferred build system. A Gradle exec hook would not work as it would be implemented, and therefore limited to the Polaris repository. Whereas this proposal serves both the Polaris devs and the Polaris users. -- Pierre On Thu, May 29, 2025 at 12:14 AM Yufei Gu <flyrain...@gmail.com> wrote: > Thanks for sharing it here. > > If all we need is to start a Polaris instance, run the tests, and shut it > down, a 7 k-line Apprunner plugin feels like using a sledgehammer on a > thumbtack.
