Thank you for the support! One quick question though. I updated my applications from 2.14.12 to 2.15 and my server middlewares suddenly stopped working since the express module was not found. Does this means that, from now on, nuxt will not come bundled with express anymore? Thanks again for your hard work!

Nuxt never came with express out of the box. It uses connect under the hood (and still does).
If you use express, you should add it to your dependencies :)

I see! I added it now to my dependencies and everything is working as usual. Just found it weird that updating nuxt to this version affected my express imports. Thank you!
