What do you want us to build?

A shell command option to run a command/terminal against your container live without manually changing a build command (like docker exec). A way to, on the fly, run shell command e.g. for database migrations or running management commands.

Describe alternatives you've considered

• Spinning up another instance on EC2/ECS to connect to my RDS instance to run migrations/revert
• Attaching a build script that uses environment variables and just re-deploying the app after changing a variable

This originally came to me when wondering how i'd actually revert a database migration on a production deployment with App Runner, it isnt really possible by the looks of it at the moment; unless I run a build command which isn't interactive or fast.
