Deploying Pentaho Carte Server on Fly.io with Firecracker VM: A Fun Way to Learn ETL!
This article is a sequel to my earlier post, “Instant Observability with Zero Code!”. In this second part of the series, we dive into more advanced configurations for the Open telemetry collector especially the filelog receiver for log files routing and data enrichment leveraging router, multiple filelog receivers, regex parsers etc.

This is a quick guide on deploying the Pentaho Carte Server on Fly.io using Firecracker VM—a great way to learn and practice the Pentaho data platform with the Pentaho Data Integration carte server.
Carte is a lightweight web container that allows you to set up a dedicated, remote ETL server, making it easier to manage and execute Pentaho jobs.
Firecracker is a lightweight virtualization technology designed to run microVMs (micro virtual machines) efficiently. Fly.io is a platform that allows you to deploy applications globally with minimal latency, utilizing Firecracker for fast, scalable deployment. It’s important to note that Firecracker is not Docker; it offers a different approach to virtualization, emphasizing speed and resource efficiency.
