An example service using
- Environmental configuration
- Secrets obtained from a runtime location
- Automatically applies schema changes on startup
- Orderly startup / shutdown (e.g. establishes database connections before setting up http listeners and vice versa)
- Graceful shutdown on errors, unhandled rejections, unhandled exceptions, SIGINT and SIGTERM
- Useful log decorators, including request scoped logging
- JSON logging to stdout in "proper" environments, human friendly logging locally
- The Dockerfile uses settings from .npmrc and .nvmrc
- The docker build cache busts using package.json and npm-shrinkwrap.json so npm install only runs when necessary
- Deployed artifact (a docker image) is traceable back to SCM commit via manifest.json, exposed via /__/manifest endpoint
