 Writes to Cloudflare KV are [eventually consistent](https://developers.cloudflare.com/kv/concepts/how-kv-works/#consistency) between regions. This means that changes are available immediately within the same region but may take up to 60 seconds to propagate globally. This won't affect most users as they are unlikely to switch regions between requests, but it may be a consideration for some use cases, such as VPN users.

 ### Caching Pages
 
 On-demand rendered pages without any dynamic content can be cached to improve performance and lower resource usage.

+The session runtime is automatically excluded from your server bundle whenever no session driver is configured. Setting `session: false` additionally tells your adapter not to provide its default driver, opting your project out of session support entirely:
+
+```js title="astro.config.mjs" ins={4}
+import { defineConfig } from 'astro/config';
+
+export default defineConfig({
+  session: false,
+});
+```
+
+Adapters that normally provide a default session driver (e.g. [Node](/en/guides/integrations-guide/node/#sessions), [Cloudflare](/en/guides/integrations-guide/cloudflare/#sessions), and [Netlify](/en/guides/integrations-guide/netlify/#sessions)) will not configure one. This can be useful for serverless and edge runtimes, where a smaller bundle reduces cold start time.
+
 ## Interacting with session data
 
 The [`session` object](/en/reference/api-reference/#session) allows you to interact with the stored user state (e.g. adding items to a shopping cart) and the session ID (e.g. deleting the session ID cookie when logging out). The object is accessible as `Astro.session` in your Astro components and pages and as `context.session` object in API endpoints, middleware, and actions.
