Shared Postgres Test Container with Expecto in FSharp

I'm currently working on a side project to expand my familiarity with FSharp and functional programming. Despite already being familiar with functional practices and functionally oriented libraries like CSharp Functional Extensions and Language Ext, there is still a moderate learning curve beyond the language syntax when working on a whole project and not just making a library or doing a coding challenge.

Entirely pointless but fun weekend coding exercise: trying to compute and render the effect of lighting and shadows of mountains, seen from above. After some struggles with basic trigonometry, I think I got the mechanics roughly right! Cheating for now with light coming from the north, that might be a good next step.
