Context
Context #
A global object representing a context for a given workflow run.
The Context object can be used to store data that needs to be available across iterations during a workflow execution, and across multiple workflow runs. Every context instance offers two type of data storage: a global one, that's shared among all the steps within a workflow, and private one, that's only accessible from a single step.
Both set
and get
operations on global data are governed by a lock, and considered coroutine-safe.
