MemoryStore is not designed for production environment #935

Closed mario-grgic closed 5 years ago

Installed latest version of express-gateway (1.16.7). Set the variable export NODE_ENV=production, started express-gateway and got:

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

Is there anything I can do to control session store in production environment?

In general, you should probably not rely on the memory store in production. The best thing is to offload this to a good backing store such as Redis.
