According to one example, a method performed by a computing system includes, with a first server, receiving a process request, starting processing of the process request, prior to completing the processing of the process request, storing objects associated with a thread of the process request in an object database that is accessible by the second server, storing thread metadata for the thread of the process request in a metadata database that is accessible by the second server, and sending a transfer request to a switching manager, the transfer request being to request that the process request be shifted to the second server.
