  • Interchange Redis Sessions

    Posted on June 16, 2026 by Mark Johnson

    Interchange now supports storing user sessions in Redis, a popular in-memory data store, as a core feature.

    Sessions are where Interchange keeps client state that makes a catalog operate as a continuous experience—the shopping cart, form values, login status, and other data that persist from one request to the next.

    How and where such state is stored have a direct impact on a busy catalog’s performance, and Redis gives developers a fast, purpose-built alternative to the file and relational database storage backends Interchange has always offered.

    Details on how to begin using this are in my blog post announcing the new feature.
