Pants

is pants suited for running services / long running processes, in conjunction with e2e testing of a system?

Pants’ architecture would allow for it — particularly the fact that we have a daemon (`pantsd`) which could parent any long lived services. <https://github.com/pantsbuild/pants/issues/16362> is a ticket requesting something similar, although with docker-compose in mind

but there hasn’t been any design done to determine:
1. how the services would be declared
2. how dependencies on services would be declared
