+""" Configuration required for tests to run

+Note that fastapi makes available a test client that can be used to
+test the API endpoints. This will call the endpoints internally.
 
+For the taskiq to work we have configured it to use the InMemoryBroker
+otherwise it will try to connect to a redis server.
+
+Please note you will require pytest-env for the environment variables
+to work which are set via pyproject.toml
