Issue with setting up local environment

Describe the bug:

There are few issues with the local dev environment

• await initDB() fails silently without starting a server. If I replace the code with the snippet below, it works fine.

  initDB() 
  .then(() => {
    console.log("connected");
  }).catch((err) => {
    console.log(err);
  });

• yarn both gives me the following error

$ yarn both
yarn run v1.22.5
$ concurrently "yarn dev" "yarn --cwd='./client' dev"
$ ts-node-dev --no-notify -P tsconfig.server.json ./server/app.ts
$ ts-node-dev --no-notify -P tsconfig.server.json ./server/app.ts

On the other hand, running both the servers in seperate terminals worked fine for me.
