Aren't weekend projects great!?

After much ado, this is the pattern I've settled on for starting
applications. Some of the npms are private, but you'll get the point.
TODO: look into https://github.com/spumko/hapi/blob/master/docs/Reference.md#hapipack

var config = require("./configs/" + process.env.NODE_ENV),
  figure = require("droppe-figure"),
  bunyan = require("bunyan"),
  applicationName,
  logger;

applicationName = config.get("applicationName");
logger = bunyan.createLogger({name: applicationName});

// Get options from the confiuration service 
figure.get("/" + applicationName + "/" + process.env).then(function (options) {
  var hapi = require('hapi'),
    server;

  // Merge local config with service config
  Object.keys(options).forEach(function (key) {
    config.set(key, options[key]);
  });

  // Make hapi
  server = new hapi.Server(
    config.get("hostname"),
    config.get("port"),
    config.get("application")
  );

  logger.info("Starting the application w/", config.get());

  // start the server
  server.start(function (error) {
    var loader;

    if (error) {
      logger.warn("Failed to start application at w/", error);
      return;
    }

    loader = require("node-glob-loader");

    server.app.logger = logger;

    // Load application routes
    loader.load(["./application/routes/*", "./application/routes/**/*"], function (exports) {
      exports(server, config);
    }).then(function () {
      logger.warn("Started application at ", server.info.uri);
    }).done();
  });
}).fail(function (error) {
  logger.warn("Failed to start application at w/", error);
}).done();
