Description

There's a number of strings that get cloned a bunch and never modified. Things like:

  • Workflow & Run id
  • Task Queue
  • Namespace

Etc etc.

I'd like to do two things:

  • Use some kind of read-only string / interning library to help with the individual strings
  • Pass around some refcounted property bags for the commonly used sets of stuff like this

Research direction

No source files, entry points, or tests are identified. Start by locating where Workflow and Run IDs, Task Queue, and Namespace strings are cloned, then determine the scope of the proposed read-only strings and refcounted property bags. Done requires an agreed design and implementation covering the commonly repeated values.
