Nodejs app on GAE creates many sessions

[er...@fitter.nl]

Hi,

I've made a node + express app that's using Firebase (v3) as session store (https://github.com/benweier/connect-session-firebase).

Running locally, everything's working as expected, but deployed to GAE I'm seeing a few new sessions made every second, without http requests being logged. When I used memcached as store, I also noticed that there were tens of thousands of sessions without http-requests.

What could be causing this behaviour of GAE? And can I prevent this from happening? Should I prevent it?

Erik.
