Daily Term: Session Management

Session Management

Session Management involves tracking user activity across requests in a web application by maintaining session data, typically using a session ID stored in a cookie. For example, when a user logs into an app, their session data (e.g., user ID, preferences) might be stored in a server-side cache like Redis, and a session ID is sent to the client. This enables stateful interactions, but it requires secure handling to prevent session hijacking or expiration issues.
