+##### Running the MySQL or Postgres backend tests:
+
+Run these by setting `GRAFANA_TEST_DB` in your environment.
+
+- `GRAFANA_TEST_DB=mysql` to test MySQL
+- `GRAFANA_TEST_DB=postgres` to test Postgres
+
+Follow the instructions in `./devenv` to spin up test containers running the appropriate databases with `docker-compose`
+- Use `docker/blocks/mysql_tests` or `docker/blocks/postgres_tests` as appropriate
