I did´nt want to hijack Pavels thread so I thought I´d open up a new thread. I have been using the default system that Pylons offers, the file-system, does anyone have any figures around about when it might be considered to use a database? 500, 1000 or more concurrent users? I thought memcached solved most problems?
The use of sessions in the database is really most commonly used to remedy how to access the session in a cluster environment with multiple web servers. If you're not clustered, I see no reason to use the filesystem session as it'll be faster. Memcached is not so ideal for user sessions, because it will drop data regardless of an expiration if it hasn't been used as frequently as other pieces of data. That is, when memcached hits its limit, it dumps data based on an LRU scheme.
