Re: Customise Session Engine to distribute session data storage

We were actually cache_db but the sessions were consuming too much of DB. Hence, we want some sessions to be persistent in DB and some to be volatile and not stored in DB. Hence, I was looking for some way to achieve that. Like I want all login sessions to be stored in DB whereas rest in cache.

Actually, there's nothing stopping you from using redis for cache and session cache.  

SESSION_ENGINE = 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache'

will use your cache to store sessions.  and if you use cached_db instead of cache, that data will persist in redis and survive restarts.

Hi Jason,

Thanks for the response. Why not use Django's cache backend and setting cache alias to be redis?

Thanks.

there's an option to use redis as a session backend, which would be faster than using a regular db, even a well tuned mysql/postgres instance

Hi,

Right now we are using the Django cache_db session engine for persistent sessions and also for some speed. Is it possible to customise this where I can store some session data in cache and some in DB? For example, I want to store all login sessions in DB and rest like some user specific data - basket etc in cache .

Looking forward to your support....

Thanks.
