From what I'm seeing with CloudScript it appears as if a new instance of the script is loaded into memory almost every time an ExecuteCloudScript API call is made. Which would mean that updating any global variables in the script for use later is invalid. Am I correct in this assumption?
Correct - at scale, you can't rely upon the same JS engine, or even server, to necessarily be the same from one instance of calling a handler to the next.
