Curious to see why you recommend Koa vs Express?. Looks simpler at first but if you can elaborate that would be great.

  Koa is the successor of Express, written by Express creator, TJ. I like it because generator workflow makes writing apps better since we can yield promises. Code is much cleaner. app.get('/', function * () { this.body = yield User.all() }) vs app.get('/', function (req, res) { User.all(function (err, users) { if (err) throw err res.end(users) }) })

    You can use promises in Express just fine, though. Especially with `express-promise-router`. Not really fair to compare it to nodeback code in Express :)

    Cool stuff. Going to check it out.

This right here seems like the best trade off between accounting for technical debt in the future and having quick development in the early stages of a business/startup.
