Session Persistence

Session persistence, also known as sticky sessions, is a technique used in web hosting to ensure that a user's requests are directed to the same server during a browsing session. This is important because some applications store user-specific data on a particular server. Without persistence, a user might be connected to different servers each time they send a request, causing potential issues like lost data or session errors. By maintaining the same server for all requests within a session, session persistence helps provide a smooth and consistent user experience, especially for activities like shopping carts or login sessions.
