Quickstart

☁️  This section covers Meltano Cloud - the fully managed, hosted edition. Features here are not available in Community or Open.

Get from zero to a running pipeline in five steps. No infrastructure setup required.

Steps

1

Get in touch

Create your Meltano Cloud account at meltano.com/contact. You can sign in with GitHub or Google.

2

Create a workspace

A workspace is an isolated environment for your team. Name it after your organization or project, then invite teammates from the Members tab.

3

Connect a Git repository

Link the GitHub repo that contains (or will contain) your meltano.yml. Meltano Cloud reads your pipeline definitions directly from your repo on every run.

4

Add secrets

Store connector credentials in the Secrets vault. They are injected at runtime and never written to disk or logs.

5

Trigger a pipeline run

Use the Cloud UI or the meltano cloud run CLI command to kick off your first pipeline. Watch live logs stream directly in the interface.

Once your first run succeeds you can set a schedule, configure external log streaming (DataDog), and add alerting — all from the Cloud UI.
