Using databases to store temporary results between the backend and frontend of a webservice

I have a multithreaded backend application. It is inputted x, and outputs y, and this makes up a “job”. A job can take up to several seconds to complete. The application is fed input via HTTP requests, and once the job is completed it will return a response to the HTTP (so the response time can be several seconds). The response data can vary in size from a couple of bytes to around half a mb.

Use deprecated library or copy the code I need from it into my codebase?

I need some code from some deprecated libraries, one small class (150 lines) and two functions (24 lines). The libraries are part of larger set that we use a couple of but both are being deprecated. The packages are still up on the registry but they are removed from the GitHub and not going to worked on or included in future updates.

What are the advantages of refresh token?

A good auth system contains access and refresh tokens. I know what access-tokens are for and I know what refresh tokens DO – but I don’t understand their meaning.

For example:
If I authenticate myself successfully to an API, then I get an access token and a refresh token. If a bad guy steals my access code, he can access the API maybe the next 5 minutes or so. But if he steals my refresh token which maybe expires in 6 months he can give himself every time a new access-token and so he can stay longer in the system.

So what are the advantages of refresh tokens – I don’t see them?
