Managing session storage tradeoffs across your database stack 💾

Session storage gets complicated faster than you think. Managing tradeoffs across files, PostgreSQL, Redis, and Valkey often leads to unexpected headaches with expiration, cleanup, and memory limits.

Here is how to navigate session storage:

• The problem: Expiration, cleanup, and memory limits can quickly spiral out of control across different datastores.

• The fix: Evaluate options like keeping session tables, deleting an hour at a time, or letting the store handle expiration directly.

• Why it matters: Testing options on Upsun Cloud helps you optimize memory usage and avoid keeping unnecessary session data around.

Check out the full technical write-up to see how to test session storage tradeoffs with your application data:
