Hello,

I am trying to use SuperTokens Managed Service with AWS API Gateway service but can't seem to make sense of the docs.

1. Is it possible to add SuperTokens managed service as a "JWT Authorizer" for AWS API Gateway?
2. The docs mentioned something about config.ts. Do I need to set up a backend? Can't I link ST managed service with API Gateway directly without having a backend? 

Can someone please point me in the right direction.

You need to have a backend to be able to use supertokens

You can use aws lambda for that if you like
