You haven’t said which engines you’re using.  It might be simplest to just post 
the config.yml file and the $environment.yml file it loads, if any.

It might also help to know the HTTP server configuration.  Apache vs Starman, 
FastCGI vs HTTP proxying, etc.

I suspect you’ve got a parallel access locking problem that only shows up when 
two users happen to hit the app at the same time, but that’s just speculation 
on the information you’ve given so far.

Unless you’re using Dancer2::Session::Cookie, I don’t see how that can be the 
case.  That’s the whole point of separating the notion of cookie and session: 
all of the real per-user data goes into the Session object, and the cookie is 
used only to look that Session object up.

But you don’t need to guess: any modern browser’s developer toolset will give 
you the cookie value.  It should be just a small-ish blob of hex noise.

What happens if you switch to Dancer2::Session::YAML?  It’s slower, but for 
volumes as low as yours, it shouldn’t matter.  The benefit is that you can then 
inspect the session objects directly when this happens.
