## Create the database

Because now we are going to use a new database in a new file, we need to make sure we create the database with:

```Python
Base.metadata.create_all(bind=engine)
```

That is normally called in `main.py`, but the line in `main.py` uses the database file `sql_app.db`, and we need to make sure we create `test.db` for the tests.

	oldest := uint64(math.MaxUint64)
	best := ""
	// We will iterate over all processes. Our goal is to find a process with the same network ID as we found above.
	// There should be 1 or 2 processes that match: the pause container should always be there, and the istio-validation *might*.
	// We want the pause container, as the istio-validation one may exit before we are done.

- **Reduce the size of the Gradle distribution** - We no longer need to carry multiple standard libraries for different languages.

## Decision

We do not introduce new public API methods that include Groovy types in their signatures.
Existing Groovy methods will not be removed immediately.

ACCEPTED

## Decision

We do not use Java serialization. Instead, we use custom serialization where we explicitly describe how data objects should be serialized and deserialized.

For internal purposes, we use binary formats for their brevity.
We use the `Serializer` abstraction to separate the actual implementation of serialization from its uses.

When sharing data with external tools, we use JSON.
