Re: [google-appengine] Session Data must be in DataStore?

For whatever its' worth, I have HTTP Basic auth implemented in my web service and it fetches the user's account details from the datastore each time a request is made and it doesn't seem to be a huge problem.

is that correct?

I understand the reasoning behind it – that separate requests in a
session may go to different servers, which will not have the same
values in static variables or MemCache, only the DataStore is shared
between servers. But it is expensive (in developer time and DataStore
writes), so I'd just like to double check.

NB: I have a fair bit of session data – encoding it in the cookie is
not feasible.
