javascript - Warning: connect.session() MemoryStore is not designed for a production environment, as it will leak memory, and will not scale past a single process

Question

Good day guys here is my code :

var express = require('express');
var session = require('express-session');

var app = express();
app.set('trust proxy', 1);

app.use(session({
secret: 'secret',
saveUninitialized: true,
resave: false,
maxAge: 1000 * 60 * 15,
cookie:{
    secure: true
       }
}));

this code always returns on my log a :

Warning: connect.session() MemoryStore is not designed for a production environment, as it will leak memory, and will not scale past a single process.

i tried googling about it but i don't seems to understand some tutorials . Sorry for my bad english.

Answer 1

Using cookie-session instead of express-session solved this issue for me.

You store the session on the client and not on the server with cookies.

Simply:

1. Install it with npm install cookie-session
2. Change

   var session = require('express-session');

   to var session = require('cookie-session');
