+**Required**. This is your Express app as shown above. Payload will tie into your existing `app` and scope all of its functionalities to sub-routers. By default, Payload will add an `/admin` router and an `/api` router, but you can customize these paths.

-This is a secure string that will be used to authenticate with Payload. It can be random but should be at least 14 characters and be very difficult to guess. Often, it's smart to store this value in an `env` and set different values for each of your environments (local, stage, prod, etc). The `dotenv` package is very handy and works well alongside of Payload.
