// The main purpose of this file is to provide an interface for database
// connection. Even though the code is quite simple and basically a tiny
// wrapper around mongoose package, it works as single point where
// database setup/config is performed and the interface provided here can be
// reused by both the main application and all tests which require database
// connection.
