MeshLine
A practical example
Example: a custom lead-enrichment service reads the contact ID and fields from each request and writes results back to the platform, so a crashed instance is replaced with no data loss.
What to evaluate before investing
- Inventory which custom components hold state between calls and where that state lives.
- Ask how the platform replaces a failed instance and whether in-flight requests are retried.
- Verify session or queue data is stored externally (database, message broker) rather than in the service.
Limitations and tradeoffs
Some workflows genuinely need state, such as multi-step conversations or deduplication caches; forcing statelessness there adds complexity, so the standard applies per component, not universally.
