dagster_tutorial

This repo is derived from the dagster tutorial, with a spin regarding the use of docker compose for CI.

The templates allow spinning up all the components of dagster into their own container, and adds a service to run tests in CI.

This allows for instance e2e testing scenarios, where a front-end communicates to the dagster services through API calls.
