I'm working on a .NET 8 API that connects to Azure SQL. I want to run integration tests against a temporary Azure SQL instance during the GitHub Actions workflow.

Has anyone successfully done this without hard coding credentials or leaving resources running? What’s the best pattern to:

Provision an Azure SQL DB on workflow start

Run integration tests

  • Tear down the DB safely afterwards?
