Then you can hit the db. I don't understand this argument against JWTs; if instantaneous session revocation is important for your use-case, versus JWTs more typical 5 minute or 60 minute expiration, there is nothing about JWTs which makes them poor candidates for going to the database as you would a session token. And, you get all the other benefits. One example where this can matter: I've seen JWTs used in defense-in-depth scenarios where you've got an API gateway that does the initial JWT validation, including a round-trip to the database to check for revocation, but then had microservices behind the gateway only check the signature. Traditional session keys would require a database roundtrip for every validation, which could number in the dozens for a single API request.
