How is the screen recorded, and where are those sessions stored?

An important note - it doesn't require to install additional software on the server!

Werbot passes the entire user session through itself and records it in asciinema format. All records are stored in the database. In the future, it will be possible to download each session in SVG or mp4 format.

What happens then when werbot is down? I'm assuming this is a hosted service? What happens when a session is a day long, and the output is a verbose compilation of Firefox? Is that still all stored in the database?
