Alternatives for MemoryStore express.io

When running node js in production mode, this warning is logged : 

Warning: connection.session() MemoryStore is not
designed for a production environment, as it will leak
memory, and will not scale past a single process.

Doing a brief research, i found that i should use other alternatives for session storage by passing express-session-mongo or express-session-redis.

My questions :

  • Are this solutions built for expressJs working with express.io ?
  • Is there a solution to solve the problem without using one of theese ? As you can see, using one of them will force me to install mongo or redis which is not good in my case.

Thank You !
