3 3 Increase User Session Performance

6 6 The default file-based sessions are only suitable for smaller setups, or
7 7 instances that doesn't have a lot of users or traffic.
8 8 They are set as default option because it's setup-free solution.
9 9
10 10 The most common issue of file based sessions are file limit errors which occur
11 11 if there are lots of session files.
12 12
13 13 Therefore, in a large scale deployment, to give better performance,
14 14 scalability, and maintainability we recommend switching from file-based
15 sessions to database-based user sessions or memcached sessions.
15 sessions to database-based user sessions or Redis based sessions.
16 16
17 17 To switch to database-based user sessions uncomment the following section in
18 18 your :file:`/home/{user}/.rccontrol/{instance-id}/rhodecode.ini` file.

44 To switch to memcached-based user sessions uncomment the following section in
44 The `table_name` will be automatically created on specified database if it isn't yet existing.
45 Database specified in the `beaker.session.sa.url` can be the same that RhodeCode
46 uses, or if required it can be a different one. We recommend to use the same database.
