    Ah! That’s what I didn’t understand. So its not a container for executing unit tests. Its a container for dependencies to support unit tests. That is not clear from the readme unless I missed something

    edit - the title could be “Self terminating containers for real world dependencies to support your unit tests”

      This feels more like an integration test than a unit test to me. Maybe that’s not an important distinction to make, but it feels like it would also help communicate intent.

        I’m reading this scratching my head going “If your unit tests need a database they ain’t a unit test”.

      Thanks man, my brain was short-circuited on Testcontainers so I couldn’t write better. Also I am stealing the title.
