import Session from 'supertokens-node/recipe/session'

function getBackendConfig() {
return {
framework: "awsLambda",
supertokens: {
connectionURI: "",
apiKey: "",
},
appInfo: {
// learn more about this on https://supertokens.com/docs/session/appinfo
appName: "<YOUR_APP_NAME>",

websiteDomain: "<YOUR_WEBSITE_DOMAIN>",
apiBasePath: "/auth",
websiteBasePath: "/auth"
