EDIT: Strata ships with cookie-based sessions but it's pretty easy to write your own storage middleware: var app = strata.redisSession(app, options); After seeing how awesome the default cookie-based sessions are in Rails, I'm not sure I'd ever care to go back. Maybe for a high security banking app where breaking the cookie encryption could have catastrophic, permanent repercussions? Short of that, load balancing shared-nothing cookie-based sessions is a joy. Gotta agree with the Lift guys there.
