It does not seem like they need huge numbers of active tunnels per gateway.

And JIT just as in "just in time" configuration of Wire guard. Once the configuration has been done, their stack stays out of it.



Ahh. In that case they are using the term JIT weirdly. Usually that means just in time compilation of script or byte code to machine code.


The phrase "just-in-time" can be used for other things besides compilation (it's often used for manufacturing, for instance). I think it's a helpful way to describe lots of things, and that we shouldn't try to limit its usage in tech to just compilation.


Exactly. The very first time I heard about "JIT" was in the context of manufacturing. The Toyota Production System [0].

I think JIT compilation wasn't popular in ancient times, so I never associated JIT with compilation by default.

JIT compiling is the term your most used to it being used with but JIT has been around in other fields for longer, and just means what it says... Just In time :)
