It looks very interesting for integration tests

OP here - yes, this is my use case too: integration and regression testing, as well as providing learning environments. It makes working with larger datasets a breeze.

If possible could you share a repo/gist with a working docker example? I’m curious how the instant clone world work there.

We do this, preview deploys, and migration dry runs using Neon Postgres’s branching functionality - seems one benefit of that vs this is that it works even with active connections which is good for doing these things on live databases.

would this work inside test containers?

[radimm]

OP here - still have to try (generally operate on VM/bare metal level); but my understanding is that ioctl call would get passed to the underlying volume; i.e. you would have to mount volume

I use CREATE DATABASE dbname TEMPLATE template1; inside test containers. Have not tried this new method yet.
