The Context
method of the Instance

run the Scale Function (or Functions).
null
to the r.Instance
method above. This is because it’s possible to chain
native functions alongside Scale Functions, and the Instance
method will automatically pass the result of the
previous function to the next one (and pass the responses back up through the chain).If you’re not using a native handler at the end of the chain, you can pass in null
to the Instance
method.Instance
can be reused multiple times, but it’s not thread-safe. If you need to run
multiple instances of a Scale Function concurrently, you’ll need to create a new Instance
for each one.
Instances are heavily optimized and will recycle themselves automatically when they’re no longer in use. This means that
creating instances are very cheap and you can create as many as you need as often as you need.
Instance
method itself is thread-safe and can be called concurrently.
