 ## Recommended Developer Config
 For convenience, some sample configs are provided here for developers for connecting to the different environments the client can interface with. These configurations can be defined via config file or via environment variables using the naming described under **Environment Variables**. The following are in config file notation and can be used as drop-in configuration.
