Manage your SailsJS server bootstrap code

Postman and SailsJS complement each other effectively, with SailsJS enabling rapid API server development and Postman facilitating their management, documentation, and testing. At Postman, SailsJS is favored for its flexibility in initializing tasks during server startup or restart, such as sending Slack notifications, setting up encryption, logging server information, and configuring error reporting. The process utilizes a bootstrap.js file in SailsJS to execute necessary code pre-server lift, which can become complex if overloaded. To streamline this, a modular system was devised to store and execute initialization tasks from separate files in a dedicated directory, thus maintaining a clean codebase. This method involves creating individual bootstrap modules similar to SailsJS server policies, each exporting a function that executes upon completion of its task, such as logging server version from a package.json file. This modular approach aids in correlating server exceptions with specific versions to prevent regressions, promoting both efficient server management and development practices that are open to community input and collaboration.
