express-standard-app

ExpressJS application with the following features as middlewares:

• helmet to add security by setting HTTP response headers
• morgan to add logs for access and error requests (with file rotation each 50MB)
• cors to enable Cross Origin Resource Sharing (api.siteA.com to app.siteA.com)
• compression in gzip to make responses lightweight (less bandwidth = costs savings)
