External Contribution Proposal: Isolated Parallel E2E Testing for CoW Services

We’re evaluating issue #4894 as a possible external contribution from the ILE Labs team.

Before preparing a benchmark or implementation, could the maintainers confirm:

  1. whether external contributors are welcome to work on the E2E test-isolation problem;
  2. whether this work is separate from the funded Playground project; and
  3. whether a minimal benchmark measuring current serial runtime and shared DB/Anvil interference would be a useful first step?

We’ll wait for confirmation on scope and ownership before starting implementation.

Hi @ILE_LABS, thanks for checking in.

Those questions are for the service maintainers; best asked on the issue itself.

We wouldn’t fund this, and if it lands as help wanted the repo’s own reward program covers it.
