     # spiffworkflow_backend.config.ConfigurationError: SPIFFWORKFLOW_BACKEND_URL_FOR_FRONTEND and SPIFFWORKFLOW_BACKEND_URL are incompatible. We need backend to set cookies for frontend, so they need to be on the same domain. A common setup is to have frontend on example.com and backend on api.example.com. If you do not need this functionality, you can avoid this check by setting environment variable SPIFFWORKFLOW_BACKEND_CHECK_FRONTEND_AND_BACKEND_URL_COMPATIBILITY=false
