Buildbot is great as a tool. I use it myself outside Apache. But I don't 
think the Apache installation is going to give us containers with SQL 
Server, etc.

I agree with all this. Unless anyone has any other thoughts, I'll let 
infra know to kill our old buildbot instance (which isn't working anyway).

However a bit more limited with regard to database choices. Ideally we'd want databases like SQL Server, AWS Aurora, etc in our test suite.
