In the age of containers this able thing is baffling to me. I have a couple of things that need postgres in production, and a single script which launches a two docker containers with tmux running postgres and apache with live scrolling logs, and which binds the postgres port to my local host.

I simply cannot understand where the friction on this is existing today. Even pre-docker its fairly easy to setup any of the big dbms in their own little environments (5 versions of mysql on the same server for a migration project).

Plus with a few tweaks to postgres relaxing ACID compliance (i.e.: no sync) and using an SSD or better a ramdisk for storage performance will be fantastic for unit tests.

Yeah, same here, I don't see how avoiding Pg (or other "real" RDBMS) makes things easier.
