We use JWT for validating simple handoffs from server to server, allowing someone to briefly access a resources such as downloading a file from a server designed to do that. We set the expiration to only an hour, and JWT is excellent for this use case as it means we don't need to implement our entire login and database workflow on a machine that just serves files.
