Hi everybody 👋 Where does Meltano stores the state file when it's self-managed? Let's suppose that I have to kill my Meltano machine, for any reason. When I reconfigure a new machine, how can I tell Meltano to use its previous state from that machine which was killed? Can I point Meltano to write the state outside of that machine, like bigquery or google cloud storage, for instance?

By default, that's stored inside the project directory in
.meltano/meltano.db
, but you can point it at an external Postgres DB: https://meltano.com/docs/settings.html#database-uri
