MEAN Stack

MEAN Stack is a full-stack JavaScript development platform that combines MongoDB, Express.js, Angular, and Node.js to build modern, scalable, and high-performance web applications. It allows developers to create complete web solutions using JavaScript across the database, backend, and frontend layers.

The solution supports common full-stack application workflows including REST API development, frontend application development, database connectivity, package management, application testing, and production deployment. It is ideal for developers, startups, enterprises, and teams building dynamic web applications, dashboards, APIs, and cloud-native applications.

• MongoDB: 8.0.23
• Node.js: 24.x
• npm: 11.x
• Angular CLI: 21.x
• Express.js: 5.x
• Mongoose: Latest installed version

Features of MEAN Stack:

• Complete full-stack JavaScript development environment.
• MongoDB NoSQL database for flexible and scalable data storage.
• Express.js backend framework for building REST APIs and web services.
