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...

Empiricism (Scrum)

Empiricism asserts that knowledge comes from experience and making decisions based on what is observed. Pillars of  Empiricism . Various practices exist to forecast progress, like burn-downs, burn-ups, or cumulative flows. While proven useful, these do not replace the importance of empiricism . In complex environments, what will happen is unknown. Only what has already happened may be used for forward-looking decision making. Each artifact contains a commitment to ensure it provides information that enhances transparency and focus against which progress can be measured: ● For the Product Backlog it is the Product Goal. ● For the Sprint Backlog it is the Sprint Goal. ● For the Increment it is the Definition of Done. These commitments exist to reinforce empiricism . The sum of the Increments is presented at the Sprint Review thus supporting empiricism .

New way of product development

Today is the era of fast-paced world and competitive world. Companies are realizing that the old sequential approach to developing new products won’t get the job done and product can’t be reached to market when compared to competitors. The 4 stages of product development are as follows – R&D, Growth, Maturation, and Decline. Instead of sequential approach, companies are using holistic approach – as in rugby game, the ball gets passed within the team as it moves as a unit up the field. This holistic approach has six characteristics: 1)     Build-in-instability 2)   Self-organizing project teams 3)   Overlapping development phases 4)   Multi-learning 5)   Subtle (very clear and strong) control 6)   Organizational change to explore and learning The above six characteristics forming a fast and flexible process for new product development with advantage of act as a change agent, creative, market driven ideas, flexi...
