There is, as you may be aware, a difference between your code loading and your
code being ready. Since require() is synchronous, if you require() all your
modules at the outset your code has, speaking roughly, loaded. But is it ready?
Your modules may be doing asynchronous things during initialisation e.g,
connecting to a DB. Can you start accepting clients and processing requests
once your require()s are done? Depends on how you structure your code
(*mumble*promise*mumble*).
I hope I am not leading you down a side path,
