Question: How would you run Meltano on Azure if you just want to run the import process a couple of times a day? Which service would you use? Ideally something that can be configured / triggered externally

github actions 🤷

that definitely works! Has anyone tried running it in Azure Functions?

I'm sure someone has, not me 😮 I know the issue with lambda on aws's side is you're limited to 15 minutes or something like that

I would be wary of app functions too, the cheap ones have a similar timeout. GitHub actions have a long timeout like 6 hours or something so that would be my bet, but perhaps the machine sizes could be a bottleneck on some loads. Perhaps an azure function that triggers a container instance? I don’t know enough about container instances to evaluate if that is a good idea. In conclusion: either GitHub actions or a tiny VM because simple is better.
