Me too, until I found how fast Postgres is starting in Docker and for different languages there are now libraries helping you writing tests using Docker containers.

Well, you're doing it wrong. It's easy and fast to run tests against real postgres (takes a fraction of a second to spin up the DB for your tests if you do it right).
