Review comment:
       If I understand correctly, adding `withWaitForReady` will make requests 
that formerly failed fast instead block forever. Therefore, I don't think we 
should add `withWaitForReady` without also adding a timeout, since otherwise 
the user gets no feedback about why their pipeline is stalled. And I think the 
timeout should be off by default, since most deployments don't have a problem 
with starting the external service ahead of time.
