Answer
No server-side session storage. Frame the concept in practical terms so you can explain it during interview discussion.
Stateless JWT tokens do not require server-side session storage, reducing overhead and making them scalable. However, this also means that revoking tokens is difficult, as each token is independently valid until it expires.
