TRANSACTION TRACKING FOR HIGH AVAILABILITY ARCHITECTURE

Techniques for transaction tracking for a high availability architecture are described herein. An aspect includes receiving a first request from a client, the first request corresponding to a start of a transaction having transaction affinity. Another aspect includes, based on receiving the first request from the client, generating a transaction tracking token. Another aspect includes sending the first request with the transaction tracking token to a gateway. Another aspect includes receiving a first response corresponding to the first request from the gateway, the first response including middleware instance information corresponding to a middleware instance, wherein a plurality of subsequent requests from the client corresponding to the transaction are processed by the middleware instance corresponding to the middleware instance information.
