That's not the problem --- the webservice itself is small, but people
like to use big tools for development.  The part i'm trying to find a
good solution for is the interface between a person sitting at a keyboard
(of some old, diverse piece of hardware, with diverse expectations about
development tools) and a test environment for that person which will
most likely yield code that also runs when other people try it.

Right now, we write unit tests which will run well on Ubuntu that we've
configured to run under AWS or virtualbox, the unit tests don't run
on everyone's desktops because of path issues, dependencies, database
credentials, etc, so people either complain (and we debug the unit tests
for every environment) or don't test code.
