Every session response includes servedBy, the id of the machine that ran it. Pass it as nodeId on a later create to land on the same machine.

When it helps

  • A site keyed something to the machine. Rare; most keying is by cookies, which profiles handle better.
  • Reproducing a problem that only happens on one machine.

Rules

  • nodeId overrides country and type. You get that machine, wherever it is.
  • If the machine is busy or gone, the request fails. No fallback to another machine.
For most workloads leave nodeId out and let placement pick a machine in the country you asked for.
