08/23/2022, 5:37 PMHello, I’m using the JavaScript SDK to implement Growthbook to my api. We are using Sails.js and fetching feature flag values via Sails policy. We are also trying to set attributes inside of the policy right before fetching from GrowthBook API. Do the attributes in the growthbook instance sustain through multiple requests?
We are thinking about setting attributes dynamically based on the API call that is coming in, hence there are concerns with race condition depending on how attributes are sustained.

Hi Karen. We recommend creating a new GrowthBook instance for each request in backend APIs with the attributes specific to that request.

I'm not very familiar with Sails.js, but in Express for example, you would add a middleware at the start of the request to create a GrowthBook instance and then be able to use it in any API route

Yeah, if you just want to use the environment toggles and not worry about rules or overrides, then it's fine to set the default value to
