AWS used to rely on JWT for their consoles (haven't for a few years now, most folks migrated away some 5 years ago) It's why they used to be horrendously bloated with large javascript bundles that took so long to process on the client side. Roughly speaking the idea was "We don't have any Javascript developers, but we do have Java developers. JWT allows us to bridge that divide". Neat in theory, and an understandable decision, but diabolical in practice!
