Best Session Storage Middleware for Express + MongoDB

I was looking for the best middleware for storing session data in MongoDB to use in a production application that uses express?

I've been looking around and found this:

  1. session-mongoose (https://github.com/donpark/session-mongoose) According to author's comment this is not production-ready for following reasons:

    • insufficient testing
    • zero optimization
    • there are better options than MongoDB for session storage

  2. connect-mongo (https://github.com/kcbanner/connect-mongo)

  3. express-session-mongo (https://github.com/davglass/express-session-mongo)

    Based on these classes

    • Sencha Connect Memory Store
    • ciaranj's express-session-mongodb

  4. connect-session-mongo (https://github.com/bartt/connect-session-mongo)

I've been looking at their code, I was trying to find also a performance comparisson article. Do you guys have experience to suggest which is the best?

connect-mongodb-session

  • https://www.npmjs.com/package/connect-mongodb-session
  • Published 3 months ago
  • connect-mongodb-session: MongoDB-backed session storage for connect and Express. Meant to be a well-maintained and fully-featured replacement for modules like connect-mongo
  • Google also now shows this one first.

connect-mongo

connect-mongo (https://github.com/kcbanner/connect-mongo) looks better then others.

express-session-mongo and connect-session-mongo are very old and based on old version of mongodb driver.

session-mongoose based on mongoose, that slower than mongodb driver.

I think connect-mongo is the best choose.
