From what I saw in the documentation a difference seems to be

> You should be able to start using dawson without creating any configuration file

The configuration obviously exists. It is scattered around as

* environment variables for AWS secrets

* the api property of functions for defining path, params, etc [1]

* a package.json for everything else, maybe not necessary for a minimal deployment without db [2]

Thanks. The main goal here is to cover a couple of use cases without needing a single configuration line (aside from the app name, which is always required).
