Redis Session Storage Fails After Cursor Refactor
User sessions are no longer persisting to Redis after Cursor reorganized your session middleware code. Users are logged out on page refresh, defeating the purpose of persistent sessions.
The Redis client may be misconfigured or the session store initialization was altered during the refactoring.
Error Messages You Might See
Error: connect ECONNREFUSED 127.0.0.1:6379
RedisStore requires a redis client
Session undefined
Failed to serialize session
Common Causes
- Redis connection not established before session middleware initialization
- Session store options (ttl, prefix) changed without updating retrieval logic
- RedisStore instantiation missing or using wrong Redis client instance
- Session data serialization changed, making old sessions unreadable
- Redis key prefix changed, causing session lookups to fail
How to Fix It
Ensure Redis client connects before app.use(sessionMiddleware). Verify RedisStore configuration matches retrieval: new RedisStore({client: redisClient, prefix: 'sess:'}). Check Redis CLI for stored keys: redis-cli KEYS 'sess:*'

I'm a full-stack developer focused on building practical and scalable web applications. My main experience is with **React, TypeScript, and modern frontend architectures**, where I prioritize clean code, component reusability, and maintainable project structures.
I have strong experience working with **dynamic forms, state management (Redux / React Hook Form), and complex data-driven interfaces**. I enjoy solving real-world problems by turning ideas into reliable software that companies can actually use in their daily operations.
Beyond coding, I care about **software quality and architecture**, following best practices for componentization, code organization, and performance optimization.
I'm also comfortable working across the stack when needed, integrating APIs, handling business logic, and helping transform prototypes into production-ready systems.
My goal is always to deliver solutions that are **simple, efficient, and genuinely useful for the people using them.**

How do I check if sessions are in Redis?
Use redis-cli KEYS 'sess:*' to list sessions. Use redis-cli GET 'sess:sessionid' to view session data.
Why are sessions not surviving restart?
Verify Redis is persisting to disk (RDB or AOF). Check redis.conf configuration.
