A secure application requires a robust logout process that cleans up all session-related resources.
- Create Logout Endpoint: Implement a /logout endpoint on the backend.
- Cleanup Server-Side Resources: This endpoint's primary responsibility is to terminate any resources associated with the user's session. This includes clearing any user-specific caches, stopping active background tasks, and releasing memory to prevent leaks.
- Token Invalidation (Optional): For enhanced security, implement a token blacklist. When a user logs out, their JWT can be added to this list, preventing it from being used again before its natural expiration.
