New Blog post: Keeping users logged in with Keycloak 25

[Alexander Schwartz]

Dear Keycloak community, 

With Keycloak 25, there is a preview feature “persistent user sessions”, which stores the user sessions in its database, which keeps users logged in even after you shut down the whole Keycloak cluster, for example for upgrades. Previous versions of Keycloak would store regular user sessions (also called online user sessions) only in memory.

Read more about it in our latest blog post describing how to enable it, and how to migrate from previous setups that are common the community. 

For June 24th, we are planning a live ask-me-anything session for persistent sessions where we are looking forward to your questions. In the meantime, there is also the GitHub discussion where a lot of questions have been answered already and where you can post your feedback for this new feature. 

Best,

Alexander
