@rocketnova i'm struggling with a way to sustainably test the platform. it's so much overhead to test it even once that i think having some sort of automation would help immensely, even if the automation is itself quite costly to set up. thoughts? I put together a quick overview of what I'm imagining, hope to get a gut check from you on it |

Context
Testing the platform currently requires multiple time-consuming steps, involving creating a new repo, copying over template code, creating infrastructure from template code, and verifying that CI and CD works. Furthermore, splitting up the platform into separate template-infra and template-application-* repositories increases the importance of testing the pieces together in an integrated fashion. In order to sustainably maintain development of the platform, we need a way to test the platform in an automated fashion.
