App Tooling Upgrade

[prastut]

DB

Move to RethinkDB over MongoDB. It's perfect for our usage. https://rethinkdb.com/faq/

Auth

Use Passport.js (when we move to the model where users can sign in and reply)

API

Move to GraphQl (Apollo toolchain)

##Express
Setup it like it's here: https://github.com/withspectrum/spectrum/blob/alpha/api/index.js

Javascript Tooling

There is a lot of work that's been done in the JS ecosystem to finally put the fires down between developers. Why not use them?

Our team is primarily using VSCode as the editor, but feel free to use any which supports these tools (most popular editor have extensions for them):

• Prettier.
• Eslint
• Flow (will introduce when code has to scale)

Eslint

• Too many console.logs spoil the broth. Warning for console.logs
• Introduce Airbnb's eslint config.

Good extensions to have:
