All about system-tests deep internals. For those of you who are not afraid of getting dirty hands.

Lifecycles

• End-to-end lifecycle -- how end-to-end scenarios start containers, run setups, and execute tests

Protobuf definitions for the traces are taken from https://github.com/DataDog/datadog-agent/tree/master/pkg/trace/pb.

You can update it by running the job "Update agent protobuf deserializer".
