// "Services" are the heart of every Feathers application.

// id can also be null when updating multiple records, with params.query containing the query criteria.

// and the path it has been registered on.
// For services registered before app.listen is invoked, the setup function of each registered service
// is called on invoking app.listen. For services registered after app.listen is invoked, setup is
// called automatically by Feathers when a service is registered.
