Execution Context

Context Object

Every function in Flowkit receives a context.Context object when executed. This object provides:

• Cancellation propagation

• Deadlines and timeouts

• Request-scoped values

Use it to enforce execution limits or access scoped metadata.

Input / Output Handling

Functions receive input in the form of a generic map[string]interface{}.

• Input data is passed as a JSON-compatible object

• Output is returned using the same format

• Intermediate state can be stored in logs or custom fields

Shared State (Optional)

Although Flowkit doesn’t persist memory across calls by default, function authors can implement stateful logic using:

• In-memory stores (for dev/debug)

• External databases or cache systems

• Streamed outputs for partial state updates

Best practice: treat each function call as idempotent and stateless unless necessary.
