Automated integration tests of Azure Service integrations in Azure DevOps CI

Question

I have a project written on Java within Azure DevOps.

I have some integrations, like Postgresql DB, CosmosDB, Storage Queue, Storage Blob. There are some emulators for these Azure service, which I can use for integration testing on my local machine during development.

What about CI? Are there practices/tools for such tests?

For example, GitLab provides (they call them) Services which are Docker containers with some applications, like relational databases, inside: https://docs.gitlab.com/ee/ci/services/postgres.html

You can now setup a CI/CD pipeline with Cosmos DB, you need to add the Cosmos DB Emulator extension to your Azure DevOps account for free.

You can later on use it in a Build Definition as an additional Task, it will expose an Endpoint you can connect to (the Account Key is the same as the Local Emulator).

See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cosmos-db/tutorial-setup-ci-cd

For some of these, Microsoft provides an Azure Storage Emulator. This isn't running on the Hosted Build Agents, although there seem to be some workarounds.
