Spring AI's chat memory support solves this by storing conversation messages and injecting them into each new prompt. The post covers the ChatMemory abstraction, MessageWindowChatMemory for sliding-window context, and how MessageChatMemoryAdvisor connects ChatClient to memory. It walks through setup with in-memory storage for development, then migrating to PostgreSQL via JDBC for persistence across restarts and multiple instances. Practical patterns include using UUID cookies to isolate per-browser conversations, schema initialization options, and production recommendations like Flyway migrations and separating chat memory from full chat history. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
