Node server starts before the routes are loaded

On some occasions, I can get errors like this one:

TypeError: C:\Dev\VersionPress\docs-site\dist\views\layout.jade:37
   35|               li
   36|                 a(href="/#{language}") Home

   38|                 +traverseRoutes(val)
   39| 
   40|

I think this is because in server.ts, the express server is started almost immediately but the site generally isn't prepare to take HTTP requests (building the routes takes some time).

This is problematic mostly in the npm run watch scenario where Browsersync will try to reload browsers as soon as the Node server restarts.

Could you please add RoutingService.getInstance(); somewhere to app.ts ? (import of service is also necessary)

I am unable to replicate it, but instantiation of RoutingService singleton in application initialization may help.
