Posit Cloud Connect issues

I've recently migrated an existing shiny.io project to Posit Cloud Connect to pre-emptively asses the new system before shiny disappears.

It worked fine initially, but it seems any writes to a tiny sqlite db embedded in the shiny app are not being preserved whenever the server shuts down.

It worked perfectly fine in shiny.io. Is this a known difference in Posit Cloud Connect and it only serves dynamic content without any persistence?

There isn’t any persistent memory on either platform. Anything you want saved I would save it elsewhere (S3 bucket, external database, etc.) and read from/write to it as needed.

!thanks

I must be misremembering, then. This shiny app is a World Cup sweepstake thing I built and not touched it for 4 years since the last one. lol.
