JWTs are completely stateless. The server doesn't need to look up a database, making them incredibly fast and cheap. However, you cannot easily revoke a JWT before it expires. Redis Sessions require a database lookup on every request (slightly slower/more expensive), but give you absolute instant control to terminate a user's session at any time.
