Description
I'm not entirely sure if it's already possible, but I couldn't find any evidence of it, but it would be great to have container linking and running services.
For example, for running tests that require a database or external cache, it's very useful to be able to have a long-running task run alongside another.
It's also useful for running integration tests where one service communicates with the other.
Alternatives considered
I've considered two alternatives:
- Docker Compose: This is nice and very useful, but it does not have the DAG like toast does. Neither is the caching on Docker Compose good enough for complex workflows, particularly in CI.
- Running parallel toast jobs: Running another toast job alongside one, but linking them with a virtual network so the applications/services can talk to each other.
