 ### Serialization
 
 Server functions allow the serialization of many different data types in the response. The full list is available [here](https://github.com/lxsmnsyc/seroval/blob/main/docs/compatibility.md#supported-types).
+
+### Meta information
+
+Depending on your hosting, the server function might be running in parallel on multiple cpu cores or workers. You can use `getServerFunctionMeta` to retrieve a function-specific `id`, which is stable across all instances. 
+
+Keep in mind: this `id` can and will change between builds!
+
+```tsx twoslash
+import { getServerFunctionMeta } from "@solidjs/start/server";
+
+// or some in-memory db
+const appCache: any = globalThis;
+
+const counter = async () => {
+  "use server";
+  const { id } = getServerFunctionMeta()!;
+  const key = `counter_${id}`;
+  appCache[key] = appCache[key] ?? 0;
+  appCache[key]++;
+
+  return appCache[key] as number;
+};
+```
