I also tried looking into express some time back, but I found myself doing too much boiler plating? Is that avoidable?

Sorry, didn't see you reply ;-)

Depends on the app you're building. For a simple RESTful API, 10 lines are enough :

    setupApp() {
        this.app.use(cors());
        this.app.use(bodyParser.json());
        this.app.use(bodyParser.urlencoded({extended: false}));
        this.app.use(authUser(this));
        this.app.use((req, res, next) => {
            req.db = this.db;
            req.config = this.config;
            next();
        });
