Answer 1

EDIT: There seems to be a bug in sails that's preventing mongo session store from working as expected.

EDIT2: The documentation repository has been updated and the website should be updated soon as well.

You need to use mongo-connect v0.8.2 if you're using node <=0.12.x, and mongo-connect >= v1.0.0 if you're using node >= v4.x

You will have to update your sessions configuration

To use mongo as a session store, install the connect-mongo package as a dependency

npm install connect-mongo

Then in config/sessions.js

module.exports.sessions = {
    adapter: 'mongo',
    host: 'localhost',
    port: 27017,
    db: 'sails',
    collection: 'sessions',
};

Answer 2

You can store session in redis. After restarting session is not cleared.

sails 0.11.2
redis-connect 1.4.7

In session.js

adapter: 'connect-redis'
