/**
* app.js
*
* Use `app.js` to run your app without `sails lift`.
* To start the server, run: `node app.js`.
*
* This is handy in situations where the sails CLI is not relevant or useful,
* such as when you deploy to a server, or a PaaS like Heroku.
*
* For example:
* => `node app.js`
* => `npm start`
* => `forever start app.js`
* => `node debug app.js`
*
* The same command-line arguments and env vars are supported, e.g.:
* `NODE_ENV=production node app.js --port=80 --verbose`
*
* For more information see:
* https://sailsjs.com/anatomy/app.js
