How to use Twitter OAuth 2.0 and Passport.js for user login
Passport needs to be initialized as middleware as well. And it requires a session middleware for storing state and user data. The most common session middleware is express-session.

REST api session handling
You need to pick a session store for your cookies. By default, I think express-session uses an in-memory store which means sessions are reset every time the server restarts. Redis is what I'd generally recommend for managing session stores, but setting up Redis is ANOTHER configuration update. There are a bunch of other options, too, such as using a Mongo database as a session store.

Session Management on Google Cloud Run with Serverless Redis
If you want to store your session data manually on Redis, check here. But in this article I will use Express session middleware which can work with Redis for user session management.

JSON web tokens are NOT meant for authenticating the same user repeatedly: Use session tokens instead
This problem can be solved by using a "session store" library such as connect-redis (see express-session's documentation for the list of session store libraries for Express.js). The idea is to keep session tokens in a dedicated database, and each time the user makes an HTTP request with their session token, the server receiving the request will consult this database to learn whether the request comes from the authenticated user or not. Performance suffers consequently, as retrieving data from a database always takes some time.
What are some alternatives?

cookie-session - Simple cookie-based session middleware
Pass-fur-alle - Since Polisens web queueing solution for getting a passport sucks, and it is more or less impossible to book a time, I wrote this small javascript. What it does is that it automates the searching for a bookable time. In the file you just change the constants to your information and away you go. :)
