maven-frontend-plugin is awesome. I love it for combined builds. As is the docker-maven-plugin from Spotify, and the postgresql-embedded dependency from Yandex. Between those, and a well set up Pom file, the only thing that I ever have to worry about version wise is the JVM and Maven versions - everything else is set in stone.

What's more, using that stack, the only versioning concern at all is that the live database matches the one in the tests. I can build Docker containers of the actual services that contain the exact JVM to run on, so even that isn't a concern.
