GitHub Action workflow for running steps in parallel

I am working on a project. I need to create a workflow to run integration tests on an iOS device.

Scenario:I've to run a local server at some port and in parallel I've run integration tests.

Query:

  1. Can I achieve this in Github Actions?
  2. If yes then how?

I'll be thankful for the help.

There's no built in solution for parallel steps at the moment.

Workarounds:

  • Run your server in the background (server &). Or as a daemon if it has it built in.
  • If it's a container you can use jobs.<job_id>.services
    • https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/workflow-syntax-for-github-actions#jobsjob_idservices
