# cowtown

a cookbook :book: for pragmatic server-side application development via middleware-pipelines.

cowtown covers many _how-to's_ of a wide range of application concerns. it demonstrates fulfillment of those concerns via [koa](https://koajs.com).

cowtown is generally _not_ software--it is mainly documentation, covering how to effectively use the abundance of existing software.  in some cases,

cowtown ships a minimal amount of code to support some common use cases.

## target audience

all interested parties.

## goals

- documentation. share patterns and codified implementations for common application concerns

- encourage server development that rewards:

    - simplicity over ease

    - composition

    - flat-ish dependency trees

        - share community modules, whilst avoiding deeply nested hard-to-[configure|debug|reason-about] middleware packages
