How can I use Redis for session management in Django?

You can use the django-redis package to integrate Redis with Django for session management. First, install it using pip.

What settings do I need to configure in Django to use Redis?

In your settings.py, set SESSION_ENGINE to 'django.contrib.sessions.backends.cache' and CACHES to use Redis.

Can you show me an example of the CACHES setting?

Sure! Here's an example:

CACHES = {
    'default': {
        'BACKEND': 'django_redis.cache.RedisCache',
        'LOCATION': 'redis://127.0.0.1:6379/1',
        'OPTIONS': {
            'CLIENT_CLASS': 'django_redis.client.DefaultClient',
        }
    }
}

Is there anything else I need to do to make it work?

Make sure you have Redis server running and that your Django app can connect to it. You might also want to handle session expiration.
