More Information
Summary:The present invention extends to methods, systems, and computer program products for load balancing for services. Embodiments of the invention facilitate load balancing between instances of a service based on affinitization of messages, based on content of the message. For example, messages in the same session can be dispatched to the same service instance. A sequence or series of related messages associated with long running and/or stateful services are more likely to be dispatched to the same instance of the service. Thus, if the service instance has persisted client state, there is an increased likely of utilizing the persisted client state and not having another service instance recreate the client state.
