Abstract
Embodiments herein describe middleware that serves as an intermediary between two computing systems performing asynchronous communication. Rather than communicating directly with each other, the two computing system communicate with the middleware; however, the middleware can be introduced seamlessly so that the two system believe they are communicating with each other rather than the middleware—i.e., the middleware is invisible to the systems. Asynchronous communication with guaranteed delivery may require the two computing systems to perform a handshake operation where the computing system transmitting the object does not consider the task complete until receiving a confirmation from the receiving computing system that the object was processed successfully.
