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
With a list of "Known gaps" and implemented engines listed with status like "Real", and of course the Quick start first, as Claude loves to do.
It's not "wrong", it just shows low effort. But then again it's just something someone needed and shared it for free so let's not complain too much.
All the products and saas launching with obvious AI landing pages, that the authors did not even care to trim down, that's another story.
