Nodejs Clustering with Sticky-Session

const cluster = require('cluster');
const http = require('http');
const numCPUs = require('os').cpus().length;

if (cluster.isMaster) {
  console.log(`Master ${process.pid} is running`);

  // Fork workers.
  for (let i = 0; i < numCPUs; i++) {
    cluster.fork();
  }

  cluster.on('exit', (worker, code, signal) => {
    console.log(`worker ${worker.process.pid} died`);
  });
} else {
  // Workers can share any TCP connection
  // In this case it is an HTTP server



  var sticky = require('sticky-session');
  var express = require('express');
  var app = express();

  app.get('/', function (req, res) {
      console.log('worker: ' + cluster.worker.id);
      res.send('Hello World!');
  });


  var server = http.createServer(app);
      sticky.listen(server,3000);

  console.log(`Worker ${process.pid} started`);
}

I looked up the documentation for nodejs clustering and sticky-session and another stack overflow answer regarding this

  var cluster = require('cluster');
  var http = require('http');
  var sticky = require('sticky-session');
  var express = require('express');
  var app = express();

  app.get('/', function (req, res) {
      console.log('worker: ' + cluster.worker.id);
      res.send('Hello World!');
  });


  var server = http.createServer(app);
      sticky.listen(server,3000);

If the above snippet is run without forking it works fine but else never works as shown in the clustered example above

The threads started but server is never initialised .
