These articles are uniformly terrible. They all and this one complain about stateless authentication systems and describe stateful systems as better. Probably, at small scale. Choose stateless systems for greater scale and reliability when you have to and when you have the capacity to make the careful choices and compromises that come with it. But JWTs are neither here nor there. JWTs are stateless if you put the user information in them, and stateful if you put the state lookup token in them. JWTs are a format, not an authentication system. Never ceases to amaze me when marketing content makes me think less of a company.
