React.js + Node.js + Express + MongoDB


The MERN stack is a popular choice for building web applications. It is a full-stack JavaScript solution that uses MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. MongoDB is a NoSQL database that stores data in JSON-like documents. Express is a server-side web framework that runs on Node.js. React is a front-end library for building user interfaces. Node.js is a JavaScript runtime environment that allows you to run JavaScript code on the server.

MERN is an acronym for MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js, a collection of JavaScript-based technologies used to develop web applications. 


React is the library for web and native user interfaces. Build user interfaces out of individual pieces called components written in JavaScript.


Bootstrap is a front-end framework that includes HTML, CSS, and JS-based design templates for typography, forms, buttons, navigation, and other interface components. It is one of the most popular front-end frameworks and is used by many developers to create responsive websites and web applications.


Express is a node js web application framework that provides broad features for building web and mobile applications. It is used to build a single page, multipage, and hybrid web application. It's a layer built on the top of the Node js that helps manage servers and routes.


Mongoose is a Node. js-based Object Data Modeling (ODM) library for MongoDB. It is akin to an Object Relational Mapper (ORM) such as SQL Alchemy for traditional SQL databases. The problem that Mongoose aims to solve is allowing developers to enforce a specific schema at the application layer.


Node.js is an open-source, cross-platform JavaScript runtime environment that executes JavaScript code outside of a browser. Node.js lets developers use JavaScript to create scalable network applications.


MongoDB is a cross-platform, open-source database management system (DBMS) that uses JSON-like documents and optional schemas to store and process data. It is a NoSQL database product, which means it doesn't require a relational database management system (RDBMS). MongoDB is built on a scale-out architecture that makes it easy for developers to store structured or unstructured data. This architecture has become popular with developers for developing scalable applications with changing data schemas. 


 Here are some examples of companies that use the MERN stack:


Airbnb, Facebook, Instagram, Netflix, and Uber.

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...

Daily Agile Scrum stand-up meeting guidelines

Followers of the Scrum method of project management will typically start their day with a " stand-up meeting ". In short, this is a quick daily meeting (30 minutes or less) where the participants share the answers to the three questions with each other: • What did I accomplish yesterday?  • What will I do today?  • What obstacles are impeding my progress?  Some people are talkative and tend to wander off into Story Telling .  Some people want to engage in Problem Solving immediately after hearing a problem. Meetings that take too long tend to have low energy and participants not directly related to a long discussion will tend to be distracted. These are the minimum number of questions that satisfy the goals of daily stand-ups. Other topics of discussion (e.g., design discussions, gossip, etc.) should be deferred until after the meeting.  Here are few tips for running a smooth daily meeting:  • Everyone should literally stand-up and no one should sit down ...

Certified Enterprise Architect Professional (CEAP) - Module 4 - Architecture Precursors

 Architecture Precursors: Precursors to modern Enterprise Architecture (EA) include early frameworks like IBM's Business Systems Planning (BSP), which focused on aligning business strategy with information systems, as well as other Information Systems (IS) architecture methodologies that emerged in the 1970s and 80s, emphasizing the connection between business processes and IT systems, laying the groundwork for the holistic view of an organization that EA represents today; the "Master Plan for Information Systems" by Evans and Hague is also considered a foundational concept in this area. Drivers: internal / external pressure enforce to change the system Aims & Directives: Aims:  Goals Objectives Requirements Directives: Principles (example: Principles can be associated with business, data, applications, infrastructure, or security) Policies (example: Members of the public have minimal access to data) Business Rules (example: A rule directs and restricts a procedure)
