[LRUG] Rails session stores?

[Joel Chippindale]

LRUGers,

In the lifetime of our rails application we've moved through various
session stores.

1. We began with a cookie session store but then found ourselves storing
more than 4KB in our sessions…

2. ...and so we switched to an ActiveRecord session store (i.e. MySQL
backed) but found that it was too slow…

3. …and so we switched to a redis backed session store but have now found
that we keep outgrowing the memory limits of our redis servers…

4. …and so we switched to ???

Do you have gigabytes of session data? If so where do you store it?
MongoDB? Tokyo Cabinet? Somewhere else?
