Putting this back for now to work on UI issues.
There's enough false failures in the new cypress tests that I'm afraid adding this before #981 won't be very useful for us.

1. Progress: probably half way. was able to set up github action and see cypress tests start up last week. didn't work on anything this week.

Sent the same message on Slack: Hi team, apologies for being MIA lately. I've been job searching lately and that's been splitting up a lot of my time and attention. It's been a bit difficult for me to focus on this project. I going to be focusing on job searching the next couple weeks/maybe months. I'll put my issue back into the backlog. If anyone happens to want to work on that issue in the mean time, I did push up my work on a remote branch. Otherwise, I'll pick it back up when I come back. I'll still be on slack if you guys need anything. Thanks!

Progress: able to install dependencies and build the app in pipeline.
Blockers: unable to start a MS SQL server instance inside the docker container in the GitHub action workflow, which is preventing the app to start. I created a couple different jobs inside the "integration.yml"/workflow to try out different approaches to run the app.

Here's my WIP branch.
