Can't these services be mocked out? Surely you are wrapping the service API with your own code to prevent vendor lock in right?

Doesn’t everyone just spinup and teardown either an EC2 based Docker host or and EKS worker as needed?

Especially for CRUD apps and otherwise simple apps, testing should start after git push.

Don’t want to wait each time? Automatic build and teardown of test envs on a schedule, to avoid always up.

I still local test low-level code. But anything running in a cloud should really just be tested there.
