Using MongoDB to replace the sessions table?

tracy — Sun, 02/21/2010 - 14:48

Maintaining session information has long been the bane of the web developer. Many web platforms put that information into a MySQL table, something that can work decently well for small to medium sites. The problem is that as the site's popularity grows, so do the number of database entries and hits. Sites that aren't as good about purging the sessions table of stale entries are going to see increasingly slower lookup times at a time when the number of hits are increasing.
