Cyclic - Express Hello World

This is a basic starter Expressjs app with:

• Static file hosting
• Logging Middleware
• Catch-all handler that echoes request info

Local Quick Start

• Clone to your local
• Install dependencies npm install
• Run locally npm serve
• Make requests
  • Browser: http://localhost:3000/some/path?q=query+one&q=second+query&single=value
  • Command line: curl -i -XGET "http://localhost:3000/cmd/line-curl"

Deploy in under 10 seconds

• Sets up instant continuous deployment on git push
• Realtime backend logs and API request monitoring

Cyclic Runtime

• Cyclic hosts your app on serverless infrastructure. That means there is no guarantee of memory or file system persistence between requests.
• The runtime expects a nodejs entry point defined as:
  • package.json "main" field defines the entry point file (if missing uses index.js)
  • Entry point starts a server on process.env.PORT
