passport.js failed to store session during live production server

Question

When I ran the server locally at port 8080 , it worked normally at authenticating and serializing data. But the time I ran my code on live production , yea it normally authenticate but it doesn't store any data to session!

I wonder what middleware supposed to be setup for this matter?

Answer 1

According to express-session middleware documentation:

The default server-side session storage, MemoryStore, is purposely not designed for a production environment. It will leak memory under most conditions, does not scale past a single process, and is meant for debugging and developing.

For a list of stores, see compatible session stores .

Two most popular one for production environments are:

• connect-mongo
• connect-redis
