Instance Id is an object with a property id which is a 128 bit (32 char) lower case hex string and a property timestamp with is a string indicating the time that the id was generated in MySQL compatible microsecond format.

The Instance Id is stored in global.__immutable_instance_id__ and will not change even if the module file is executed multiple times.

Immutable Instance Id integrates with the Immutable App ecosystem to provide unique ids that are used for logging, debugging and testing.
