Research direction

The issue concerns the GitHub Actions workflow, Docker service containers, and the Python dependency installation; start by examining how the action currently performs those setup steps. Compare that behavior with GitHub Actions support for Docker service images, and define done as documenting or enabling a service-based setup that addresses the reported startup overhead.

Description

Hi!

Thanks for creating an maintaining this!

When setting up localstack, the action spends around 60 seconds on setup. This seems excessive, and most of the time seems to go to:

  • installing python dependencies
  • pulling a docker image

but docker actions supports running docker images as services directly. Is this possible? If so, wouldn't that be preferrable?
