In our previous article, entitled, ‘The Four Components of the MEAN Stack Framework Streamline and Integrate the Development Environment’, we detailed each of the components of the MEAN Stack framework and how each component contributes to the overall, comprehensive nature of this set of tools. In this article, we discuss three of the many advantages of choosing MEAN stack for your software development project.

‘MEAN Stack checks all the boxes so the business can count on rapid development and a resulting solution that will meet requirements and be easy and cost-effective to maintain and support.’

As discussed in our previous article, the MEAN framework is comprised of four components:

Mongo DB:    A NoSQL, scalable, flexible database.

Express JS:     Enables large scale web and mobile applications using micro services architecture.

Angular JS:    A rich, popular framework with powerful tools for cross-platform application development.

Node JS:        Streamlines server-side scripting for fast, scalable processing.

When combined, these components provide the following advantages:

Uniformity – Using MEAN stack application development tools, software developers can establish a solid foundation with uniform language across the entire stack, ensuring ease of code maintenance and seamless operation.

Low Cost – The Mean Stack leverages JavaScript which is a free, open-source toolkit. This lowers the cost of development and because there are so many developers skilled in JavaScript, this choice ensures that the business can easily find developer partners with the skills to complete the project. The MEAN stack requires a small footprint and decreases overhead.

Flexibility – Mean Stack provides support for the business to create simple, intuitive, open source solutions that are easy to maintain and upgrade and are rich and robust enough to satisfy complex hybrid mobile application needs and Cloud solutions. MEAN stack supports rapid application development and will help the organization to achieve its goals quickly and provide support for future needs.

The MEAN Stack framework includes four components that contribute to the comprehensive nature of this software development approach. Using MEAN stack application development tools, developers can create simple, intuitive, open source solutions that are easy to maintain and upgrade.’

Because MEAN Stack checks all the boxes for cross-platform database management, hybrid mobile application development and web application development, server framework and management and support for front-end and back-end, the business can count on rapid development and a resulting solution that will meet requirements and be easy and cost-effective to maintain and support. In this article, we have highlighted just three of the many benefits of MEAN stack development and MEAN Stack architecture design. We encourage you to further explore this approach to software application development and hybrid mobile application development.
