 ### Running the Database(s)
-We use Postgres, but have the ability to run Entity Framework's in-memory DB as well instead, which allows quicker debugging.

-**Running with Postgres is highly encouraged**, as the in-memory DB will not behave the same as Postgres,
-and [some features will not work at all](https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/ef/core/testing/choosing-a-testing-strategy#in-memory-as-a-database-fake) (for example: transactions and constraints).
 
 #### Postgres with Docker compose
 As mentioned above, we run Docker containers for the DB. After [installing Docker Compose](https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/), run this command in the project root:

 To run the tests, run the following commands from the root of the repository:
