Save Ruby on rails session on ElastiCache

Question

I have a nice small social network type application in Ruby on Rails 3.2. I'd like to store the user's session files in ElastiCache in amazon. Anybody has any advice on how to do this?

I have a redis-session-store gem to store sessions in redis is there a simple way to just store session information in ElastiCache?

Answer 1

ElastiCache is compliant with the memcache protocol. They speak the same lingo, so just configure your elasticache endpoint in rails, configure your session store, and it should Just Work.
