The ePSF construction requires several preceding steps: read in a fits image, fetch gaia sources from remote db (or read in a local fits file). Other tests downstream then depend on the existence of this ePSF model (e.g. plant_fakes).
We are currently set up to write things to disk, but we could instead string the prerequisite steps together, storing outputs in memory without disk I/O
