Runtime and operations

Use this section after a runner and metadata document exist. It follows the runtime lifecycle: resolve configuration, execute a stage, recover or replay work, then observe and maintain the destination.

Lifecycle

Concern What it covers Page
Configure Runtime paths, provider injection, engine and platform settings Runtime configuration
Execute Run one explicit stage with a project-owned runner Run a stage
Recover Replay a watermark window or backfill historical data Replay and backfill
Maintain Vacuum, optimize, and perform destination maintenance Maintenance
Observe Read system and execution logs and diagnose failures Logging · Troubleshooting

The CLI prepares and validates project artifacts; it does not replace the project-owned runner. See the Project and CLI guide for the build boundary and return contracts.

For host-specific setup, pair these pages with Platforms and deployment.
