FAQ

​
Why not use JWTs?

Performance

JWTs are often touted as better performing since you can cryptographically validate them. However, you still need to check the database to see if the token is expired, which is just as slow as handling normal tokens. Opt for better caching.

Simplicity

JWTs require handling & rotating a private key, in addition to being able to blacklist tokens in case of a leaked private key. This is cumbersome and error prone.

Length

JWTs are long and are cumbersome to copy & paste. Database-backed tokens can store unlimited metadata.
