FOSUserBundle在Elastic Beanstalk中不起作用

Question

I have a website that has a lot of traffic and the nature of the website means that it can have a lot of requests in a specific time period.

I use amazon beanstalk to manage the load balancer and instances.

I can have up to 20 instances running and because FOSUserBundle uses Sessions to hold the data I am loosing users logins etc.

I know EB has stickiness but due to the nature of the site it gets overwhelmed and sometimes doesnt forward the correct user to the correct instance so I am loosing users again. Amazon are no help at all.

Is there a way to override this to use secure cookies (i know cookies arent secure but I could create my own crypt/decrypt method)

Any suggestions would be helpful :)

Answer 1

I found away to essentially negate the sessions stored on one server. I remember doing this with a custom php system (using this php net session I built a few years ago but did not think it would work with symfony. Since posting this questions I found PdoSessionStorage basically storing your sessions on a Database instead of files on the server or instances.

Please choose your syfmony version as namespaces sometimes change version to version
