Using MEAN Stack for Enterprise Web Application Development

Mean stack is JavaScript based web development solution, which is a open source stack, used for building websites and web applications. This MEAN application can be written in single language for both server side and client side execution. This unique features has helped MEAN stack in gaining large number of users world wide.

Within MEAN Stack, MongoDB saves and store application data. As both database and application uses same JavaScript , so its become easy to translate the object and requirements.

Components of MEAN Stack include MongoDB, Express.js, Node.js and Angular.js:

MongoDB: MongoDB is one of the important component of MEAN Stack as it stores all the data of application. MongoDB is quite popular for its performance and data storage along with features such as scalability and simplicity. It also allow user to add fields to database without reloading entire table.

Expres.js : Express.js helps in forming backend of MEAN Stack. This component helps in managing interaction between front end and database. This Expree.js also provides smooth data flow to the end-user. Furthermore, this express.js is capable enough to handle entire process efficiently and effectively. Another feature of this component is restricting the overwriting of variables by user accidentally which ultimately allow user to save time and money.

Node.js : Node.js acts as a backbone of MEAN Stack as Node.js has inbuilt feature of webserver which allow user to organize MongoDB database database to the cloud. Another feature of Node.js includes support to N number of connections. Node.js is also known for its compatibility which helps this component to functions under low resource requests in comparison to resource intensive resource.

Angular.js : Angular.js known as component of front-end framework. It is used in MEAN Stack to develop user facing application side. It also allow HTML functionalities such as ng-if, ng-show, ng-repeat.

Advantages of Using MEAN Stack:

Cost-Effective : Within MEAN Stack, developer requirement is less in comparison to LAMP stack as in LAMP stack developers need to have proficiency in technologies such as MySQL, PHP, and other. Hence, MEAN Stack is more preferable as it is less costly for enterprise web app development.

Cloud Compatibility : MEAN Stack uses public repositories and libraries during its development stage. One of its component MongoDB, which reduces disc space cost, that allow utilization of cloud functionalities within the app.

There are many other features of MEAN Stack such as Single Language Development, High speed, Reusability, high flexibility and others which help enterprise to prefer using MEAN Stack for web app development.
