Should be “ACA-Py” throughout.

| This directory contains scripts to run several Aca-Py agents in various configurations for demonstration, development and testing scenarios. The agents are using Postgres (15) database storage (`askar`, `DatabasePerWallet`) and are running without security (`--admin-insecure-mode`). | ||

| The inspiration for this playground was testing mediation and the differences between single-tenant and multi-tenant modes. These scripts allowed the developer to stand up 3 single-tenant agents and 1 multi-tenant agent and run various scenarios (in other scripts - not included). Running in `--admin-insecure-mode` simplifies creating tenants in multi-tenant mode and eliminates the need for adding headers for calls in single-tenant mode. |

Would it make sense to include one script as an example so it’s easier for others to be built?

will do. i'll keep it self contained (ie. no mediator).

A couple of tweaks - at least fix the CaPiTaLiZaTiOn of ACA-Py :-) .
I think it lacks a bit of “why do this?” motivation for how this can be used, so I think I would add how you are using it as an example, and include the stteps to run what you are running. Not required if you don’t think it is worth it.
lint on README... add some example scripts using the agents. Signed-off-by: Jason Sherman <tools@usingtechnolo.gy>

Added simple scripts, didn't want to include load testing and additional infrastructure etc as that gets out of date quickly. |

Kudos, SonarCloud Quality Gate passed!

While working on load testing for Aries Mediator Service I needed to spin up multiple agents and needed help to see a simple way to do so; at least not vanilla instances that I could run ad-hoc test scripts against.
I required multiple single-tenant mode and a multi-tenant mode to test our mediation between multiple agents. This was a simple way to achieve it. I decided I would stand up the standard
faber,alice,acmesingle-tenant agents and one multi-tenant agent.I did opt to include a Postgresql server shared across all the agents and included ngrok (easily turned off per agent) for URLs accessible outside the local network.
This was extremely helpful to diagnose and fix #2231
