Persist Data Component
Persist small amounts of data that will be available later in the execution or in subsequent executions of the Instance
Component key: persist-data
Description
The persist data component provides functionality to persist small amounts of data for use during an integration execution or in subsequent integration executions. This is helpful if you want to save a bit of data during an integration invocation for use in a later step, or in a subsequent execution.
For details on how to persist data between flow invocations, see the building integrations article.
Data can be persisted in three ways:
- For just the duration of the execution.
Data persists ephemerally for only as long as a flow runs.
You might use the
Execution -actions, for example, as an accumulator in a loop. - Between executions of a specific flow.
Data persists between instance executions and is scoped for a specific flow.
One flow cannot access another flow's data.
The
Flow -actions are handy for saving data from one flow's run, and referencing it in a subsequent run of that same flow. - Globally, for all flows in an instance.
Data persists between instance executions and is scoped for the entire instance.
The
Cross Flow -actions let flows within an instance reference one another's persisted data.
When an execution starts, it loads persisted data from storage. When the execution finishes, it writes out its state to storage if any state was changed.
Note that if two executions run at the same time, the execution that finishes last will overwrite any state that the first execution wrote.
Viewing Persisted Data Usage
The Get Persist Data Usage Metrics action will yield the size of flow, cross-flow and integration-scoped persisted data in bytes.
Empty persisted data will yield a size of 2 bytes, which represents an empty object {}.
The maximum amount of data you can persist is 64 MB (or 67108864 bytes).
