MERN stack

The MERN stack is a collection of technologies that developers use to build web applications using JavaScript.

The acronym MERN stands for MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. The MERN stack is a full-stack solution that uses JavaScript and JSON to create a three-tier architecture. It's popular because it only requires one programming language, JavaScript.


Each component plays a specific role in the architecture of a MERN application.

MongoDB:

MongoDB is a NoSQL database that is used to store data in a document-oriented format. This makes it ideal for storing JSON data, which is the native format of JavaScript objects.

Express:

Express is a web framework that is used to build the backend of a MERN application. It provides a number of features that make it easy to develop and deploy web applications, such as routing, middleware, and templating.

React:

React is a JavaScript library that is used to build the frontend of a MERN application. It provides a number of features that make it easy to build user interfaces, such as components, state management, and virtual DOM.

Node.js:

Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that is used to run the MERN application. It provides a number of features that make it ideal for developing web applications, such as event-driven programming, non-blocking I/O, and a large number of modules.


The MERN stack follows a three-tier architecture, which is a common pattern for designing web applications. The three tiers are:

Presentation tier:

The presentation tier is responsible for displaying the user interface of the application. It is typically implemented using a JavaScript library such as React.

Application tier:

The application tier is responsible for handling the business logic of the application. It is typically implemented using a web framework such as Express.

Data tier:

The data tier is responsible for storing and retrieving data. It is typically implemented using a database such as MongoDB.


Here are some of the benefits of using the MERN stack:

  • use JavaScript for both the frontend and backend of the applications
  • scalable
  • build a wide variety of web applications

Delivering a project within budget

 Here are some tips for delivering a project within budget: Set a realistic budget Define the project's scope and necessary resources, and create a budget that's realistic. Cost estimate Segment the project into smaller tasks and milestones to plan how to use resources and provide clarity. Divide the project plan Break down the project into tasks to avoid late deliverables and over-budget projects. Monitor progress Regularly track the project's progress to identify and prevent cost overruns. Use progress reports to compare actual costs to the budget. Anticipate and revise changes Communicate with stakeholders to identify and assess risks, and assign owners to each risk. Consider different scenarios Estimation can be difficult for complex projects with many potential outcomes. Tracking: Tracking time spent on tasks, Tracking expenses per project, and Using project management software. Use Historical Data Your project is likely not the first to try and accomplish a specific o...

Certified Enterprise Architect Professional (CEAP) - Module 5 - Architecture Frameworks

Architecture Frameworks: An Architecture Framework is a theoretical structure that has the purpose of developing, executing, and maintaining an Enterprise Architecture. Advantages of EA framework: Simplify Breaks down areas of the business process Organise business components and create and identify relationships between business Determine the scope Customization in the existing framework Disadvantages of EA framework: Need to follow process Provides only direction and not information It's based on goal and objective Need creativity and proactive thinking Zachman Framework: The Zachman Framework is a widely used model in Enterprise Architecture (EA) that provides a structured way to classify and organize an organization's information infrastructure by defining different perspectives from various stakeholders, allowing for a holistic view of the enterprise and facilitating alignment between business needs and technology solutions; essentially acting as a template to organize arc...

Bucket System project estimation

 The Bucket System is an Agile estimation technique that uses predefined buckets to group tasks or user stories by size, complexity, or effort.  Each bucket represents an estimate range, such as small, medium, or large.  The Bucket System is a group activity that helps align the team's understanding of work effort and complexity.  It's a good technique for quickly estimating a large number of items with a medium to large group of people. The effort of small, medium, or large bucket size arrived by team based on T-shirt sizing, PERT estimation or Planning Poker. Each bucket represents a level or an estimate range (e.g., small, medium, large). The team compares user stories to one another and places them into the appropriate buckets. This process is a group activity, promoting discussions and aligning the team's understanding of work complexity and effort. To use the Bucket System: Set up a row of cards, or buckets, with values in the Fibonacci sequence or other metho...
