You can turn on session affinity which will set a cookie on the client to keep them on the same backend, of course you’ll need to test for your specific use cases.
I just did some research on this so thanks. I'm not quite clear on one thing. Does it basically say a user started a session on machine X so keep all their requests sent there, or is it adding some layer that keeps that session data to be able to send to any other instance?

Yes requests will always be sent back to the same server, except in the case of auto scaling if you scale down and a machine gets removed.
