Django built-in session framework manages user data securely and efficiently.
Django users will be assigned a session ID that serves as a key for retrieving data stored on the server.
Django's middleware automates session management.
There are several options for saving session data, including database-backed, file-based, cache-backed, and signed cookie sessions.
Signed cookie sessions store session data directly on the client's browser rather than on the server side.
Django offers several settings to configure session behavior such as session expiration time and cookie security requirements.
To interact with sessions in Django views, use the request.session object, which behaves like a dictionary.
Avoid storing large amounts of data in sessions to prevent increasing server load and slow response times.
Periodically delete expired sessions and enable secure cookies, HttpOnly, and HTTPS settings to protect session data.
With proper configuration and secure practices, Django sessions can be leveraged to create efficient and personalized user experiences with robust security.
