My First Laravel Package – laravel-session-ignore

I’ve published my first Laravel package. It’s simple, but useful.

My Laravel databases have been getting far too large, a result of 1) Long session lifetimes and 2) Sessions being created periodically by various bots and uptime monitors.

This middleware solves this by allowing you to specify a list of bots which, when encountered will only get short sessions, and the sessions will always be stored in memory.

Check it out!
