Introduction

In this episode, Matt Tesauro hosts David Gillman about JWT Patterns and Anti-Patterns. I first met David at LASCON in the fall of 2021 when I sat in on his conference talk. Based on David’s experiences with JWTs we discuss where JSON Web Tokens can help and harm developers who use them. It seems like JWTs can be a mixed bag mostly determined by how you use them. Hopefully this episode will help you avoid any JWT sharp edges if or, more likely, when you work with them.
