We’ve been exclusively using the Postgres state backend with Meltano thus far but we’re setting up a new Meltano project and will need to use the S3 state backend instead. In the docs what is meant by “prefix for state JSON blobs” in this line?

Pass the access key ID and secret access key directly in the

state_backend.uri

by setting it to

s3://<aws_access_key_id>:<aws_secret_access_key>@<your bucket name>/<prefix for state JSON blobs>

.

Is that just a normal s3 prefix (a “subdirectory”)? I would just use a URI like

<s3://my-meltano-project/meltano_state/>

?

correct

yup, that should work

thank you!
