Stop Using JWTs 1 month ago

I'm sorry I fail to see the difference between a cookie holding a server session ID and a cookie holding a JWT token. JWT sessions are created and stored (in some way) in the DB anyway and it's short lived. That's basically a session stored in a DB. When we say no to sessions we only mean server sessions in your backend service as this can't scale horizontally. I feel like this is just a shiny title confusing different approaches and practices.
