what is the best way to run log base sync jobs (running all the time)? Airflow is good for schedules

<@U06BXD7U1LP> You could set up a Docker container with `meltano elt &lt;tap&gt; &lt;target&gt;`  or `meltano schedule run &lt;schedule&gt;` as the entrypoint, with a `restart: always` policy. That way the container will always be running, and when the job succeeds because some timeout expires without any new log messages, it will automatically restart

Without Docker, you could send up systemd or an equivalent tool to similarly make sure `meltano elt ...` is always running

Another question, does meltano support adding custom ui pages and db models (like what one can do with custom airflow plugin)

<@U06BXD7U1LP> Not currently, no, but I'd welcome an issue in <https://gitlab.com/meltano/meltano/-/issues> to explore that!
