    bodyParser: true,
    controllers: [
        {
            prefix: '/users',
            crudInterface: rapify.crudInterfaces.memory(),
            restify: {
                create: true,
                read: true,
                update: true,
                delete: true,
                paginate: true,
            },
        }
