1. What are sticky and non-sticky sessions?
Sticky session:
Why: If the load balancer is instructed to use sticky sessions, all of your interactions will happen with the same physical server, even though other servers are present. Thus, your session object will be the same throughout your entire interaction with this website.
* All your requests will be directed to the same physical web server.
* Only single session object will be there
Non Sticky session:
* In case of a non-sticky load balancer may choose any webserver to serve your requests.
* Session object for each server node
2. What is Areas in Sitecore Mvc?
What: MVC areas are choice for organizing and separating assets belonging to each tenant, or for breaking up a large single tenant project into multiple modules.
MVC Areas actually do far more than just organize your files into separate directories. Runtime resolution of assets based on directory convention is also great, and support for this by Visual Studio IntelliSense is even better.
Why: Sitecore offers support for multiple tenants from a single running instance, but it does not provide process or file system isolation for assets developed for each tenant website
Where: sitecore will by default registers all the areas in the initialize pipeline. You can register area in sitecore.mvc.config file
<mvc>
<areas>
<area type=”namespace.classname, assembly name”>
</area>
<excludeareas>
<area type=”namespace.classname, assembly name” />
</excludeareas>
</areas>
</mvc>
To determine the area for each rendering and layout view, Sitecore uses the ResolveArea processor early in the mvc.renderRendering pipeline
When invoking a rendering in code, for example: @Html.Sitecore().ViewRendering("Index", new { area = "MyArea" })
