GNU parallel would be my first choice too.  in fact, the only reason i
seldom use it is because most of my testsuites are either very fast
(when pure Lua) or too heavy to run more than one (I.E. running under
nginx and spawning several support servers).

i guess it could be possible to containerize them to avoid conflict
between concurrent servers, but... i don't want to be the one fixing
that.

of course, for CI/CD, you get containers/VMs whether you want them or
not, so it's usually better to split tests into several sets and push
all to the queue together.
