Answer from AI

To assign unique identifiers to requests without local data storage, you can use distributed unique ID generators, such as:

  • UUID (Universally Unique Identifier) — generated on the client side or orchestrator, does not require synchronization.
  • Combination of timestamp and a unique instance identifier — for example, timestamp + node ID.
  • Using an external service or database with atomic increment (if possible).

Example of generating UUID in Java:

import java.util.UUID;

String uniqueID = UUID.randomUUID().toString();

This approach guarantees uniqueness without the need to store state locally.
