Description Maciej Bendkowski CLA 2013-12-06 07:52:19 EST 
Cookie / server in-memory sessions, although useful, have several drawbacks, e. g.

1. Increase connection latency, since cookies have to be sent with each request,
2. Are not persisted and fail to recover from server crashes,
3. Do not scale

We should be using an external in-memory service as session storage. One common approach is to use in-memory databases, e. g. Redis.
