Which is proper way for api authentication for nextJs api? taking more time to give response
Hello
im getting session and checking in api.
here screenshot attached
but just that api taking 2-3 seconds to give response
which is the proper way for api authentication in nextJs?
im using secondary database redis for session store.
this api saves 3 key values to postgress using drizzle orm.
whats the major improvements i need to do here?
is it possible to do create server action and calling it from client component?
i tried some error came.

try to measure how much getSession is taking specifically. If you use secondary storage it should be fast enough in general. Also look into cookie cache.
I was disabled cookie caching
Maybe thats why causing much time
However i started to use server actions
One more thing @bekacru
I have extended user table and added isOnboarded boolean
That's to check user onboarded or not
And I'm getting that key in session
Once user onboarded that flag turns to true
But my session coming from cache
So its not turning to true till logout and login
Or session cache time i set 10 minutes
Is there any way to manually update session cache?
Side note:
Make sure you have the
nextCookies plugin if you haven't already!

Is there any way to manually update session cache?You can probably just fetch the session using your ORM, then manually set the cookie to be the newly updated. Also, I recommend indexing important fields in your database to allow queries to run faster: https://www.better-auth.com/docs/guides/optimizing-for-performance#using-indexes
Are you saying get session from db and update?
I'm using secondary database also. There also i need to update the session basically
Any function available to refresh the session?
Oh, you're using secondary DB.
I'm unaware of any, sorry.
Bekacru might know though.
Yep
Forcefully logginout user or asking user to relogin wont looks good
Else i have to make separate api to get that isOnboarded flag
Now along with userdata that comes easily
My plan is if user not onboarded redirecting them to onboard page
Yeah.
Not sure if this will help you, but I needed to do a similar thing which was update the session for some additional fields I had on the user. What I ended up doing was calling the updateUser method on the authclient just so that it updated the session with updated user field, while also making a separate call to my backend. I know it’s not the cleanest, but that worked for me. So in your case, you would call the updateUser method and set the isOnboarded to true. I also used router.refresh() from Nextjs too after that
Now I'm updating user data from server action
But my session is in secondary database redis
Basically i want refresh the session in redis.
Now even refresh page also not helping out
It will call session api and gets same session from redis which is not updated
