• GitHub - boustrophedon/pgtemp: Rust library and daemon for easily starting postgres databases per-test without Docker

  pgtemp is a Rust library and cli tool that allows you to easily create temporary PostgreSQL servers for testing without using Docker. The pgtemp Rust library allows you to spawn a PostgreSQL server in a temporary directory and get back a full connection URI with the host, port, username, and password. The pgtemp cli tool allows you to even more simply make temporary connections, and works with any language: Run pgtemp and then use its connection URI when connecting to the database in your tests. pgtemp will then spawn a new postgresql process for each connection it receives and transparently proxy everything over that connection to the temporary database. Note that this means when you make multiple connections in a single test, changes made in one connection will not be visible in the other connections, unless you are using pgtemp's --single mode.
