Session token and JWT authentication are commonly implemented strategies in modern web applications, but both have their drawbacks. Session token authentication has been used for decades and is still in use today, but it can be a performance bottleneck when building distributed systems. JWT authentication offers fast request validation but does not elegantly handle the process of invalidating sessions should user tokens leak. Clerk implements a hybrid approach that combines the benefits of session token and JWT authentication while minimizing the downsides of both strategies.

One of our most requested updates is finally here—it's now possible to host multiple Clerk apps under the same domain! To make this happen, we rearchitected the way Clerk sets and handles cookies. This allows you to: • Use the same domain for both production and staging environments. • Host multiple products on the same subdomain. • Develop multiple apps on localhost simultaneously. No changes are required on your end. Just make sure your Clerk SDKs are up to date to take full advantage of this improvement. It's fully backward compatible, and we've been rolling it out gradually to ensure a smooth transition without any extra effort from you. https://lnkd.in/gNS8P2Pf
