> Stability: 1 - Experimental
> Stability: 1 - Experimental. Please migrate away from this API, if you can.
> We do not recommend using the [`createHook`][], [`AsyncHook`][], and
> [`executionAsyncResource`][] APIs as they have usability issues, safety risks,
> and performance implications. Async context tracking use cases are better
> served by the stable [`AsyncLocalStorage`][] API. If you have a use case for
> `createHook`, `AsyncHook`, or `executionAsyncResource` beyond the context
> tracking need solved by [`AsyncLocalStorage`][] or diagnostics data currently
> provided by [Diagnostics Channel][], please open an issue at
> <https://github.com/nodejs/node/issues> describing your use case so we can
> create a more purpose-focused API.
