How to deploy a batch job that depends on MySQL?

Question

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't want to just install it directly on my server.I like running things in Docker but it isn't designed for multiple independent processes.Is there something obvious I'm missing? I'm relatively new to software development.

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