thanks for the ping @dcherian, i really like the idea! One other thing that often gets neglected in test suites is operating on remote data. I understand the need to avoid long-running tests and tests prone to network failures for PRs, but running these sorts of examples as a cron job could be very helpful for benchmarking and detecting issues.

In intake-xarray we recently added tests against a local HTTP server and "S3" server: https://github.com/intake/intake-xarray/blob/master/intake_xarray/tests/test_remote.py

Also added several simple tests requiring a network connection to public data (no auth required) that we run locally but not in CI currently: https://github.com/intake/intake-xarray/blob/master/intake_xarray/tests/test_network.py
