A method for managing multiple representational state transfer (REST) requests using a transaction management process coupled to a cluster of computer-executed server processes. The method receives a first request to start a transaction associated with a data access process coupled to a database. The method acquires a database connection in an open state and a unique transaction identifier for the transaction. The method receives a plurality of REST queries, each of the plurality of REST queries associated with a corresponding transaction identifier. The method determines that, for at least one of the plurality of REST queries, the corresponding transaction identifier does not match the unique transaction identifier and proxy the corresponding REST queries to a selected server process. The method receives a second request to end the transaction. In response to the second request, the method completes the transaction and change the database connection to a closed state.
