Hi everyone. Does someone know if the ./meltano/run folder in a meltano project can be backed by a storage backend other than the local filesystem? I am running meltano in a Docker container, so I am using a volume to persist the folder but I am wondering if there is a better way

Hi @eiji_de_paz! Files in

.meltano/run

should be safe to nuke between runs. They're created from your configuration (

meltano.yml

, environment variables, etc.) at runtime so you don't need to persist them. Do you have a particular use for those files?

Hi @edgar_ramirez_mondragon. Thanks for the reply. I think I just need more reading. I thought you needed ./meltano/run/elt/job_id/ in order to record the incremental state, but now I am reading that state is stored in the system database. I will look into that configuration

Np! That is absolutely true, Meltano stores elt state in its system db. Let me know if I can help you further or if you find anything's missing in the docs 😃
