express -> micromono

app.js

var app = require('express')()

app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'))
app.set('view engine', 'pug')
app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')))

app.get('/', function(req, res){
  res.render('index.pug')
})

app.listen(3000)

service.js

var micromono = require('micromono')

var Service = micromono.createService({
  init: [function(app){
    // `app` here is a built-in dependency which is a express instance.
    app.set('views', path.join(__dirname, 'views'))
    app.set('view engine', 'pug')
    app.use(express.static(path.join(__dirname, 'public')))
  }, ['app']], // This is the format for getting dependencies
  // There are other dependencies like 
  // `service` - instance of current service
  // `chnAdapter` - instance of socketmq for channel
  
  route: {
    '/': function(req, res){
      res.render('index.pug')
    }
  }
})

// Service is designed to run behind a `balancer` so it by default listen on a random port for http requests.
// To change this you can set the environment variable `PORT`:
process.env.PORT = 3000

micromono.startService(Service)

// Now this version is totally equivalent to the express version above

Does the balancer work by listening to the main website address then distributing the http requests to servers behind it listening to known random http ports?
