drafts: true📝 WalkthroughWalkthroughThe gateway replaces Hazelcast-backed sessions with Redis-backed sessions. It adds an in-memory fallback when Redis sessions are inactive, maps Redis session failures to HTTP 503 responses, updates local runtime configuration, and adds Redis integration coverage and Docker Compose support. ChangesRedis session migration
Estimated code review effort: 3 (Moderate) | ~20 minutes Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to The change introduces Redis-backed sessions, but the local stack currently exposes an unauthenticated Redis service and the deployment configuration does not enable shared Redis sessions, which can cause session inconsistency or loss across gateway replicas. These configuration and security issues should be resolved or explicitly accepted before merging. Sequence Diagram(s)sequenceDiagram

- Around line 29-33: Update the Helm deployment configuration to activate the
redis-session profile and provide the required spring.data.redis.* connection
settings, ensuring Gateway replicas use a shared Redis-backed session store
instead of InMemoryWebSessionStore. Keep the existing
NoRedisSessionConfiguration behavior for deployments that do not enable
redis-session.
In
`@refarch-gateway/src/main/java/de/muenchen/oss/refarch/gateway/exception/RedisSessionUnavailableException.java`:
- Around line 11-14: Update the Javadoc for RedisSessionUnavailableException to
describe Redis session storage unavailability, replacing the incorrect
parameter-pollution attack description while retaining the
RedisSessionUnavailableWebFilter reference.
In `@stack/docker-compose.yml`:
- Around line 56-64: The Redis service violates the contract enforced by
stack/docker-compose.yml, which permits only Keycloak, MinIO, and Mailpit.
Remove Redis from this stack and place it in an approved development
configuration, or update the governing stack rule to explicitly allow Redis.
- Around line 56-64: Update the Redis service port mapping in the redis
configuration to bind host port 6379 explicitly to 127.0.0.1, preventing
exposure on all host interfaces while preserving container port 6379.

💡 Result:
The refarch-gateway component, part of the it-at-m reference architecture Helm charts, is a Spring Cloud Gateway-based implementation [1][2]. Configuration for this gateway is managed within the refarch-gateway section of the Helm values file [2]. To manage Spring profiles or environment-specific configurations (such as configuring Redis-based session storage) within this architecture, you can use the applicationYML block within your Helm values [2]. While there is no specific dedicated key for redis-session, you can define standard Spring Boot properties within the applicationYML section, which is mounted into the container as a ConfigMap at runtime [2]. For example, to set the active profile and configure Redis, your values configuration would look as follows [2]: refarch-gateway: applicationYML: spring: profiles: active: "production" session: store-type: redis data: redis: host: your-redis-host port: 6379 Additionally, environment variables can be set using the envAppend or similar sections within the gateway configuration if preferred [1]. Since refarch-gateway is a standard Spring-based application, it follows standard Spring Boot externalized configuration patterns [2].

Configure a shared session store for the Helm deployment.
The external refarch-gateway chart leaves applicationYML empty and does not activate redis-session. Without this profile, multiple Gateway replicas use InMemoryWebSessionStore and do not share sessions. Configure redis-session and spring.data.redis.* in it-at-m/helm-charts before release.
