After scaffolding the project on Day 1, it's now time to start building out an application. Today's work encompassed getting a functional foundation for the API in place, that way I can focus on building the endpoints related to the actual feature in future days.

Progress Summary

• Installed Express, Body Parser, Compression, Cors, Express Request ID, and Morgan for the foundation of the API.
• Installed Convict & wrote a configuration file with default values and environment variable mappings.
• Installed Winston & implemented a customized logger.
• Implemented a .well-known/ endpoint that describes the state of the API.
• Installed Git Rev Sync to provide local values for the current git commit and branch, which will be included in the well-known endpoint.
• Added an npm script start:api to launch the API.
