Best Redis Solution for Lucee 7 and Sessions

dev
1

I’m planning to use redis for managing session state so that I can load balance multiple webservers without needing sticky sessions or anything.

Does anybody have any recent experience with the Ortus solution on Lucee 7 compared to how the free lucee redis plugin works? This is an app that will eventually be in commercial production, so session management is pretty important here. I’m not opposed to paying for the license, but the most recent Ortus redis plugin for lucee is from July of 2025 and I can’t find any reliable information that says this is tested on Lucee 7/Jakarta

You know Lucee development really could do with some support :wink:

For best results, follow the best practices

TL;DR

  • avoid putting cfcs in the session scope
  • avoid onSessionEnd if possible

I haven’t heard this beore, can you elaborate? (I don’t see any mention of this in the link you provided)

OnSessionEnd stores the method / application scope in the session

It’s needed so that when it’s executed, it runs in the background cleanup process, requiring creating fresh pagecontext to execute
