Answer
Stateless JWTs remove the need for server-side session storage.
With Stateless JWTs, each token contains all the necessary data, allowing servers to process requests without storing user sessions. This is ideal for microservices, which benefit from reduced server memory usage and simplified horizontal scaling. For example, an e-commerce platform can handle more users by distributing the load across multiple servers without sharing session data.
