   * 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.
   *
   * For example:
   *   => `node app.js`
   *   => `forever start app.js`
   *   => `node debug app.js`
   *   => `modulus deploy`
   *   => `heroku scale`
   *
   *
   * The same command-line arguments are supported, e.g.:
   * `node app.js --silent --port=80 --prod`
