Lightweight in-memory Gitlab backend for quick proofs of concept/testing

Feature Request

Implement a lightweight in-memory Gitlab backend for quick proofs of concept/testing

Description of Problem:

The SDLC server integrates with Gitlab. While we do run an instance of Gitlab for integration tests, it is not very lightweight. It requires Docker and is also very specific to how Docker is being run.

Also, a light weight implementation can be useful for quick proofs of concept.

Potential Solutions:

Solutions include an implementation of the various APIs (like ProjectAPI etc) backed by an in-memory store.

Another option is to use a Git java library to implement a new backend for SDLC.

Is this still actual @epsstan ? The code seems already to be there, see https://github.com/finos/legend-sdlc/tree/241c591f904d99db54476bff5e7d764c844a6d7e/legend-sdlc-server/src/test/java/org/finos/legend/sdlc/server/inmemory/backend/api
