Description
Following the instructions in README.md on running the app you will see
{"message": "Internal server error"}
And a stack trace resembling
MongooseError: The `uri` parameter to `openUri()` must be a string, got "undefined". Make sure the first parameter to `mongoose.connect()` or `mongoose.createConnection()` is a string.
at NativeConnection.Connection.openUri (C:\Users\luke\src\luke-typescript-rest-api-app\node_modules\mongoose\lib\connection.js:693:11)
at C:\Users\luke\src\luke-typescript-rest-api-app\node_modules\mongoose\lib\index.js:345:10
at C:\Users\luke\src\luke-typescript-rest-api-app\node_modules\mongoose\lib\helpers\promiseOrCallback.js:31:5
I think this is because the Mongo/Atlas connection strings need to be set first. Would be handy to have how to do this in the readme.

Research direction
Start with the aws-node-rest-api-typescript README and the MongoDB/Mongoose configuration used by the example. Reproduce the documented run far enough to confirm the undefined uri error, then document how to set the Mongo/Atlas connection strings and verify that the app starts without the internal server error.
