In a Web Garden configuration there are multiple worker process processing the request. And session state values and variables are stored in memory of the worker process in In-Process mode. So as the worker process processing your request changes, your session is lost. So definitely, In-Process mode is not recommended for a web garden configuration.

Configuring a State Server Mode or SQL Server Mode are the better options in case of a web garden.

We have an article in CodeProject by Abhijit Jana which explains these scenarios very well. Have a look at it - Exploring Session in ASP.Net[^]

Hope that helps!
