I have supported some Zanata instances in the past, I don't much
experience with using the tool itself.  IIRC it was designed to handle
the same sort of workload and file types as transifex.

We have run it on jboss with data stored in a mysql backend, though
some data also persists on disk these days.

Upgrades between releases are generally fairly smooth, with liquibase
handling schema changes.  Once in a blue moon the db permissions need
to be elevated for liquibase to complete its tasks.  When major shcema
upgrades occur sometimes the translation indexs need to be rebuilt;
this can be done once the platform is up again and can be kicked off
and monitored from an admin account via the web UI.

The Zanata development team have been great to work with, based in the
APAC region.

I hope this helps,
Marco
