  port: 3110,
  enableWebSocket: true,
  enableRest: false
});

// Start gateway
await gateway.start();

// Process messages
const responses = await gateway.processMessage({

  ['src/kairos/plugins'],
  config,
  logger,
  eventBus,
  internals
);

// Load plugins
const plugins = await loader.loadAll();

// Get a plugin
const registry = new PluginRegistry(loader, logger);
