The Modules API provides functions that return information about the current
operating environment (module, version, and instance).
The Modules API also has functions that retrieve the address of a module, a
version, or an instance. This allows an application to send requests from one
instance to another, in both the development and production environments.
The instance ID of an automatic scaled module will be returned as a unique
base64 encoded value, e.g. e4b565394caa.
You can communicate between modules in the same app by fetching the hostname of
the target module:
