connect-mongo is a MongoDB-backed session store for Connect and Express, written in TypeScript. It persists server-side sessions in MongoDB with support for automatic expiration cleanup, lazy session updates, and transparent session data encryption.

Use cases

• store express sessions in mongodb
• persist user sessions across server restarts
• share sessions across multiple node.js server instances
• automatically clean up expired sessions
• encrypt session data at rest in mongodb
• replace in-memory session store with a durable one

When to choose

• you run an Express or Connect app and need durable, scalable session storage
• you deploy multiple server instances and need a shared session store
• you want MongoDB TTL indexes to handle session expiration automatically
• you need encrypted session payloads

When to avoid

• you use a framework other than Express/Connect
• you prefer Redis or another session store backend
• your app is a small single-instance prototype where in-memory sessions suffice
• you are not using MongoDB in your stack
