07/09/2022, 4:18 PMThe container has a volume mount to the local file system in the default recommended way to run. In that case state is implicitly handled by sqlite db in .meltano dir.
If you are not using a volume mount and truly running it ephemerally, it gets more complicated.

07/10/2022, 7:41 AMI saw there is an issue in Product Roadmap to introduce a remote state backend.
https://github.com/meltano/meltano/discussions/6270
Q1: Does it mean with the new state backend feature, there will be no more need to use a volume mount as persistent storage?
Q2: Besides states, does meltano store other “states” that must be persisted outside of containers?

Re:
