Ghost/core/boot.js

// The Ghost Boot Sequence
// -----------------------
// - This is intentionally one big file at the moment, so that we don't have to follow boot logic all over the place
// - This file is FULL of debug statements so we can see timings for the various steps because the boot needs to be as fast as possible
// - As we manage to break the codebase down into distinct components for e.g. the frontend, their boot logic can be offloaded to them
// - app.js is separate as the first example of each component having it's own app.js file colocated with it, instead of inside of server/web
//
// IMPORTANT:
// ----------
// The only global requires here should be overrides + debug so we can monitor timings with DEBUG = ghost: boot * node ghost
require('./server/overrides');
const debug = require('@tryghost/debug')('boot');
