Ask HN: How to deploy a batch job that depends on MySQL?

2 pointsby iudqnolq9 months ago
I need to deploy a slightly odd file converter that needs a temporary MySQL database for the duration of each run. This is unmaintained open source software so I want to pin all the versions and then never upgrade anything. That means I don&#x27;t want to just install it directly on my server.<p>I like running things in Docker but it isn&#x27;t designed for multiple independent processes.<p>Is there something obvious I&#x27;m missing? I&#x27;m relatively new to software development.

Check out dapr and workflows. Set up a MySQL state store, construct a workflow, and off you go.
