Magento2: Minicart is full while Cart is Empty
A lot of our customers are complaining that they add stuff to the cart & then when they proceed to checkout they are redirected to an empty cart.
We thought that it might be a result of too short session time, so we tried increasing the cookie/session lifetime to 86400 (on both admin & server).
After that, I tried to reproduce the problem & managed to achieve the weird behavior as you can see on the attached screenshot.
I added products to cart, came back after about 20-30 minutes & saw my items in the minicart. then I proceeded to checkout & it redirected me to this empty cart while the minicart is still showing my items (refreshing the page also didn't work):
-- Any Idea?
UPDATE: So far we managed to solve this issue by changing back the session configuration to use files (disabled Memcached). I know that Magento recommends using Memcached & have no idea what caused this issue...

Magento places all customer specific data(shopping cart, customer name, etc...) in local storage in order to prevent caching on proxies like Varnish. Later this data is inserted into the page using JS. The behavior you observed is a misconfiguration of cache lifetime. Ideally, it should be aligned with session lifetime.
