Stateless vs stateful Graft calls

Concepts

stateless does not remove serialization or network failure modes for remote calls.

Examples

// Stateless static call — preferred for remote routing
GraftConfig.Host = "ws://localhost/ws";
GraftConfig.Stateless = true;
var total = PriceService.Calculate(10, 5);

// Stateful instance — object identity may not survive Gateway restart
var svc = new PriceService();
var value = svc.Calculate(10, 5);

• Prefer static + stateless for idempotent reads and independent operations behind load balancers.
• Use instances when the domain model requires constructor inputs and follow-up calls on the same object—and accept affinity requirements.
