Every time the server restarts, the user needs to login again. How to prevent that?

I am using passport js to set up the authentication for my web application. It's in the development phase. Every time I make changes in the backend and restart the server, the user gets logged out. This is not desirable, especially in the development phase. How to prevent that?

The default session store for express-session is an in-memory store, which as the name implies does not survive server restarts. In order to have sessions survive restarts, a durable session store is needed. connect-redis is commonly used for this purpose, but there are numerous others available depending on your application's requirements.
