## What it is
A Redis-backed session store for Connect and Express, implemented as a plug-in store for express-session. It persists session data in Redis with configurable TTL, key prefixes, and touch behavior.

## Use cases
- store express sessions in redis
- share sessions across multiple node.js app instances
- persist user login sessions across server restarts
- configure session ttl in redis
- scale express-session beyond memory store
- use unique key prefixes per app on a shared redis instance

## When to choose
- you use express or connect with express-session and need a durable, scalable session store
- you run multiple app instances behind a load balancer and need shared session state
- you want sessions to survive server restarts

## When to avoid
- you don't use express-session or connect
- you don't want a redis dependency for a small single-instance app
- you need a session store for a framework other than express/connect
