    Stateless server defenation:- Stateless means that the server is ideal or in the working state. Stateless is no state about the user information; the user can access any web resource. The server is not tracking the user identity or actions on the page. So each time, the user has to prove the identity to gain server access. The stateful server takes the user’s state information from the sessions. It takes the user’s profile, preferences, and other activities and gives a personalized experience on every visit. And when we talk about the stateless server that treats each user requests as independent and user credentials. It doesn’t require knowledge of previous interactions and does not store any session or information. So in a stateless server, there’s no difference between current, previous, and next requests.

    There are some features of a stateless server are given below:-

    Performance:- The stateless server will serve any no. of requests to the user. And it helps to achieve better response time with experience.

    Design:- The stateless server is easy to design and code because there’s no need for dynamically maintained storage units in the backside.

    Data Crash:- In a stateless, no data will be stored, so there is no impact of a system crash on the performance of web resources. Users can recover the access after re-authenticating. And it uses a different server for each request.

    Technology:- The stateless server identifies each user based on a unique ID called tokens. Tokens get essential information of the user granted access after receiving the secret token. The validity of a token depends on session duration, or it is destroyed once the user logs out of a resource.

    Hope you can understand about stateless server.
