The startup world is fast paced and competitive. A newly launched business idea needs support from the best solutions, techniques, and methodologies to have a competitive edge in the market. An online presence (Website/Mobile App) is a must, where the business can target a wider audience base and be present for their customer round the clock. Startups usually stick to the agile development method where the first step is to get a working prototype quickly launched, gauge customer feedback and incorporate this feedback to finesse the end product.

MERN stack supports an agile development methodology and enables developers to produce scalable and robust solutions in a faster time frame.The MERN stack offers a complete set of tools and technologies to create websites, web apps and mobile applications. This technology stack is a one stop solution to create the front end and back end of the application. Backed by the powerful JavaScript programming language, the MERN stack is preferred by developers to create custom applications that can carve a niche for your business in the market.

This article will take you through the components of the MERN stack, its business advantages and help your business understand how FargoWiz can help you in your journey to online success.

What is the MERN Stack?

The MERN stack is made up of the components- MongoDB, Express.JS, React.JS and Node.JS. Each of these components serve a vital role in creating a full stack application. Let us look at each of the technologies of this stack:

  • MongoDB: This is a NoSQL database that is known for its robust and scalable nature. As the data to be stored increases, MongoDB can scale horizontally. MongoDB stores data in a document oriented format. This data can be searched and indexed using the JSON query language. MongoDB uses the concept of “sharding” to always maintain a backup of the data in case of any system malfunction.

  • Express.JS:This is a backend application framework that runs on top of Node.JS and is used to create complex web apps and APIs. Express is known for its feature of code reusability. Code once written can be re-used anywhere in the application- thus saving on developer’s time and effort. Express has a minimalist architecture and comes with various plugins that can be leveraged by developers for faster API creation.

  • React.JS: Introduced by Facebook (Meta), this technology is used to create the front-end Single Page Applications (SPA). React supports the concept of virtual Document Object Model (DOM) which is a copy of the original DOM. Any modification in the web application, renders the entire UI in the virtual DOM. The difference between the original DOM and the virtual DOM is compared and the changes are made accordingly to the original DOM. React also supports code reusability.

  • Node.JS: Node.JS is a JavaScript runtime environment used to implement the application’s backend. Node.JS is a Google Chrome extension used to build scalable network applications, where code can be run on a server and outside a browser.

Why Should You Opt for MERN Stack for Your Start-Up?

The MERN collection of technologies are proven to create powerful websites and web applications. Here are some business advantages of using the MERN stack:

#1 Full Stack Technology

The MERN is a complete suite of tools that caters to an end-to-end development of the front-end, back-end and database. Startups do not have to worry about using separate tools to complete the application. All the technologies within the MERN stack are based on the JavaScript language and work cohesively together to form the end product. Developers do not have to invest time in resolving bugs that would otherwise occur when different programming languages are used to create an application.

#2 Low Learning Curve

It is very easy to learn and implement the MERN stack. Most developers are already familiar with JavaScript, which is the base language needed to implement the MERN stack. Additionally, any programmer or developer who has little to no experience in JavaScript can also learn this language pretty easily. The training time needed for developers to get acquainted with the MERN stack is comparatively lesser as compared to other programming languages.

#3 Open Source

All of the MERN stack technologies are open source in nature. This saves business capital and avoids problems with licensing. The MERN source code can be found on GitHub.This allows developers to quickly create applications or build websites for their customers without worrying about additional costs or licensing fees.

#4 Community Backing

The MERN stack community offers forums to instantly solve bugs/queries that crop up during the development process. There is also a gold mine of tutorials, documentation, and community support to help new learners familiarize themselves with this technology.

#5 High Performance Flexible and Scalable Applications

The combination of technologies used within the MERN stack help developers build high performance applications that can handle huge amounts of traffic and scale as required. MongoDB is compatible with cloud storage and data is distributed across multiple servers to avoid a single point of failure. Node.JS non-blocking I/O feature maximizes CPU utilization, while Express and React are used to develop fast, scalable APIs. Additionally, MERN has its own suite of testing tools that can be leveraged by developers to quickly test their applications before a market release.
