Hey.

I’m looking forward for an answer if Drone supports condition based services or not, so for example I would like to run my integration tests only on the ‘master’ branch and it would need 3 services to run, but I do not want to run them on other for example feature branches.

Does Drone support this kind of requirement?

Thanks in advance 🙂

yes, you can use a [when](https://docs.drone.io/pipeline/docker/syntax/conditions/) clause with any pipeline step or service.
