- use Alembic to migrate the PostgreSQL database
+ create initial migration script to set up the database,
as an alternative to db.Base.metadata.create_all()
+ integrate Alembic into the test suite; the db_engine fixture
now has two modes:
* create the latest version of tables all at once
* invoke `alembic upgrade head`
=> the "e2e" tests are all run twice, once in each mode; this
ensures that the migration scripts re-create the same database
schema as db.Base.metadata.create_all() would
* in both modes, a temporary PostgreSQL schema is used to create the
tables in
=> could now run "e2e" tests against production database and still
have isolation
- make the configuration module public (to be used by Alembic)
- adjust linting rules for Alembic
