Summary
Rust integration tests can be delightful by leveraging RAII and testcontainers-rs for automatic Docker container lifecycle management, eliminating the need for built-in setup/teardown. The pattern wraps containers in structs that implement Drop for async cleanup via a blocking hack, enabling fully isolated, parallel tests without global state. This approach works around Rust's lack of native test fixtures and concurrent execution model.
