Is there a guide for setting up and running Meltano as a production service on a bare vm? Any recommendation on server specs?

Hey @taylor so we don't yet have a guide, but 1. I ran a survey on different options you can check out here: https://meltano.slack.com/archives/C01UTUSP34M/p1665494600918869 (there are more people running the "big fat instance" approach I think you're referring to). 2. How do you plan on orchestrating? You could just use plain old CRON, or use airflow (so you have a nice UI) - using airflow would likely mean very different server specs as airflow itself is quite heavy. 3. The usual recommendation is to start somewhere big and then slowly scale down. 4. A few things to take into consideration would be: a. how do you deploy your code onto the machine? (You can use some CP mechanism from your CI system, or you could just install git and do a git pull regularly,...) b. take care of state db. You might want to take that out of the VM so if the VM crashes you don't loose state (or use some backup mechanism). Does that help? Or did I understand you wrong?

Hi @taylor I'd love to hear which option you chose. Especially whether a docker managed deployment on the bare VM is an option. DM if you'd like to chat about it. Cheers, Aaron
