You can also use Firestore for sessions, which I've serendipitously just added to the client library <https://github.com/googleapis/google-cloud-php/pull/2258>. I think this is the best way because
1. There is a free tier 2. It's very simple to set up compared to a MySQL instance (no need to set up a database/username/password). 3. It's more "serverless" e.g. you don't configure instances. I have a "getting started" tutorial for using sessions w/ App Engine and Firestore. It'll be at */php/getting-started/sessions*, so we can add it to the appengine navigation. Check out the code here <https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/getting-started-php/pull/209>. - Brent On Wednesday, August 21, 2019 at 10:47:38 AM UTC-7, Jason Collins wrote: > > In GAE Std, for php72, the default session store is configured.
