/**
* 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`
