Hi,

I'm trying to find out if we could turn off sticky session on our load balancer as Terracotta should be distributing session info and doing this would allow our load balancer to split our incoming client requests more evenly between web servers.

Every reference/article I've seen on Terracotta so far seems to suggest sticky session should still be on? Is there a reason for this?

Thanks,
Charles

Actually, just received our copy of the Terracotta reference book and it specifically states that sticky session should be on for those wondering the same.

Cheers,
Charles

While it is strongly recommended that we have sticky sessions, I am not 100% sure that its a mandatory requirement. A lot would depend on the number of servers you are clustering, the application throughput, load, volume etc.

But, yes, I agree its definitely a good practice.
