thats why you run redis in a high availibility cluster itself... To create high availibility servers all your services need to be capable and running in high availiblity mode as well (usually means multiple servers all staying in sync somehow)

authentication should be baked into Auth cookie, encrypted, protected

session data should be in local storage and sent when needed as an encrypted object

There are only 3 important hard problems to solve in IT.

1. Correct addition and subtraction of 1.
