Redis Server
We are assuming that Redis has been installed and running on port 6379 like:

2.6 Demo:
Step 1: Create session
http://localhost:8080/viewSessionData while calling this url, it will create session, store session data in redis and then store cookies information in a browser.
Spring boot session example using redis – Demo 1
Step 2: Store session information in browser
It will create SESSION cookies and store in a browser.
Spring boot session example using redis – Cookies
Step 3: Increment Hit Counter
Spring boot session example using redis – Demo 2
Step 4: Server down but session has been persisted in Redis so data will not be loss
Spring boot session example using redis – Server Down
Step 5: Again Server is up but hit counter remain same
