Session Management Approaches

Session management varies across Node.js, Python, and Java. Node.js applications typically manage sessions using libraries like express-session, often storing session data in-memory or with Redis. Python frameworks like Django have a middleware-based session management with encrypted cookies or server-side storage, while Flask typically uses session cookies secured with secret keys. In Java, session management is handled at the servlet container level, with HttpSession objects and support for distributed session management in enterprise environments, providing strong control over session lifecycle and security.
