I work on connectors to various datasources, mostly SQL DB's
The most useful tests are the integration tests, sending actual queries to the source
For most DB's we have a giant Docker Compose which runs a local instance
But things like Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, Athena suck to test because we need an external hosted instance
I would kill to be able to run test versions of all of these locally
