 Symfony can store sessions in all kinds of databases (relational, NoSQL and
 key-value) but recommends key-value databases like Redis to get best performance.
 
+Define Session Storage by DSN
+-----------------------------
+
+Besides specifying a service as the session-handler you can also provide a
+"DSN" directly and let Symfony create the necessary services/clients:
