12/21/2022, 4:25 AMHi, what is the difference between "Sharing sessions across subdomains" (https://supertokens.com/docs/passwordless/common-customizations/sessions/share-sessions-across-sub-domains) and working with multiple api endpoints (https://supertokens.com/docs/passwordless/common-customizations/sessions/multiple-api-endpoints) ? In my case I have one react front end and two APIs, one is the default nextjs api routes and the second one is to get around their 4.5MB limits. I'm assuming I need to use the multiple api endpoints instructions which involves setting the cookie domain. Is that correct? Thank you for the help!
