Role of MongoDB In MERN/MEAN Stack

by Edward Kring

MEAN/MERN stack(s) is/are becoming quite popular these days. But did you ever wonder about the reason behind this sudden surge in their popularity? Well, let me enlighten you.

MERN/MEAN is a combination of four languages. If a developer learns the MERN/MEAN stack, it means the developer is covering four aspects of programming - MongoDB, Express.js, Reactive/Angular, and finally the Node.js.

All the languages have their own distinctive set of features that make them so special and in-demand but what does MongoDB do in the MERN/MEAN stack? In this blog post, you will learn about the role of MongoDB in the MERN/MEAN stack and how it works. So, let’s get right into it.

    MERN/MEAN stack has just one language - JavaScript with different frameworks.

    1. Mental context switching cost while using a different backend programming language let's say Python, Ruby is high and unnecessary I guess.

    2. Mongo documents are jsonb type, which is pretty much JSON, native to JavaScript.

    3. If someone uses MongoDB Atlas or Realm, they can even avoid backend NodeJS code in so many use cases.
