What’s Mean Stack Development? 

In the ever-expanding field of Web Development, it is crucial to keep pace with the latest trends in the domain. While we’ve heard at lengths about frontend development, backend development, and full-stack development, there’s another branch of Web Development that is often overlooked – MEAN Stack Development.

MEAN stack is a branch of full-stack development that combines four technologies – MongoDB, Express.js, Angular.js, and Node.js – with JavaScript as its foundation. How different it is from the the full stack you ask?

Check out the differences between full stack and mean stack development.

A full-stack development toolkit called MEAN is used to create stable and dynamic web apps. A group of JAVAScripts, one of the most popular programming languages, that extends from the client to the server end is referred to as a “mean stack.” As a result, a MEAN developer needs to be proficient in JAVA. Four crucial components typically make up a MEAN architecture:

  • Node.js, 
  • Angular JS, 
  • Express JS, 
  • MongoDB

Why Mean Stack Development Is So Popular?

The use of JavaScript makes stack a more difficult field to work in. Additionally, MEAN makes use of open-source, very efficient technology. Mean stack development, which incorporates both front-end and back-end development, is occasionally referred to as full stack development. Because of this, many software engineers, web developers, and software developers find medium stack to be a flexible field.

Mean stack developers will find more work as long as there is a strong market for new technologies and software. Depending on an individual’s skill set and function, the pay for a medium-stack developer in India varies. Mean stack, however, is one of the highest-paying professions in India. 

We talk about the average salary for a medium-stack developer in India in this article.

We also go over the numerous elements that affect the compensation package, including work location, employer, skill set, and experience.  The average stack developer jobs available in different Indian cities are shown here, along with the skill sets and qualities that most employers look for when hiring developers.

Technologies under the MEAN Stack include:

  • MongoDB – To handle the database of web applications.
  • Express.js – To build APIs for web applications.
  • Angular.js – It is used for building dynamic one-page applications while saving the time needed to write lengthy code. 
  • Node.js – It handles and manages the server-side framework and requirements.

Check out our free courses to get an edge over the competition.

Why learn MEAN Stack Development?

MEAN stack is the complete package primarily focused on JavaScript. It is an integral tool for Web Development – with MEAN Stack, you can build individual components of a website or web application, right from the client-side & server-side to database handling. And the best part – it is based on one technology, JavaScript that is an all-rounder tool when it comes to Web Development.

If you are proficient in JavaScript, you need not learn a host of other languages for Web Development. MEAN Stack allows you to build powerful web applications relatively fast. 

Furthermore, MEAN Stack is not only open-source but also user-friendly. It provides a quick and organized method for creating dynamic websites and rapid prototypes for web-based applications. Hence, it is a good idea to invest your time in learning MEAN Stack development to enhance and expand your career opportunities in Web Development.

Who is a MEAN Stack Developer?

As we mentioned earlier, MEAN Stack Development falls under full-stack development. Hence, a MEAN Stack Developer is essentially a full-stack developer with an exclusive focus on MEAN stack. While full-stack developers usually have a broader scope of knowledge (including different development frameworks and programming languages), MEAN Stack Developers focus on the four core technologies comprising the MEAN Stack, that is, MongoDB, Express.js, Angular.js, and Node.js.

They are highly skilled in Javascript and also well-versed with HTML and CSS. MEAN Stack Developers can handle both frontend operations and backend server scripting. Since MEAN Stack Developers primarily use JavaScript to build web applications, they are often referred to as JavaScript Full-Stack Developers. They need to learn everything full-stack developers need to learn and then master a few other technologies.

Both MEAN Stack and Full-Stack Developers work on frontend and backend. However, while MEAN Stack Developers are only concerned with four JavaScript-based languages, Full-Stack Developers must possess in-depth knowledge of object-oriented programming (JAVA, Python, C++, etc.) for backend development, frontend development (Angular, ReactJS., etc.).

The MEAN stack developers use the following technologies:

  • Express JS: It works as a web app framework for Node.js technology. They work collectively to develop web server applications. Moreover, it enhances the core Node.js’ potential. So, it provides mean stack developers with the means to let their web apps become feature-rich and more comprehensive. The ability to work on Express JS and other technologies on this list help them achieve a decent  average salary of full stack developer in India 
  • Node.js: Its key purpose is to work as the framework for developing scalable network-focused applications in the JavaScript platform. Since it is a server-side technology, you can write your applications for digital purpose.
  • Angular JS: This technology can work with various computer languages. It assists the developer in their applications’ design process. Furthermore, it lets them define a view with the help of HTML. It also uses controllers to connect the web model and the view.
  • MongoDB: It is a NoSQL database that works on documents. It provides Mean stack developers features, including high availability, easy scalability, efficient performance, and automatic failover for their developed web applications. Moreover, it increases their web applications’ security. You can go through the average salary of full stack developer in India and understand how demanding this job role is.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)

1. What is meant by full-stack web development?

Full-Stack web development is a process of developing both the client-side and server-side of an application. The client-side includes the UI and the interaction of the client with the application. It includes mouse clicks, button clicks, event handling, client requests, etc. The server side of the application includes giving responses to the client requests, extracting required data from the database and sending it to the client. With MEAN stack, both of these can be developed. Angular js is used for the front end and UI, MongoDB is a NoSQL database, Nodejs provides a Javascript Runtime Environment (JRE) and Expressjs is used to create a backend web app.

2. What is AWS and what are its uses?

Amazon Web Services (AWS) are the software cloud services provided by Amazon. It helps to manage resources, host and deploy applications on its platform, etc. It provides services like storage, network, security, computing power, databases, etc. It works on a “Pay as you go” basis. The application developer doesn't have to worry about the management of servers and load. Based on the requests and load, AWS scales up and scales down the services. It is also very secure because it makes use of firewalls for protection, Identity Access Management (IAM) and does authorization. Netflix, Airbnb, BMW, etc. are some of the companies that use AWS services.

3. What is meant by Software Development Life Cycle(SDLC)?

The development of software requires one to go through 6 phases. They are investigation, analysis, logical design, physical design, implementation, testing and maintenance. Investigation includes requirement analysis, analysis of scope and goal of the problem and feasibility analysis. The analysis phase involves the analysis of the compatibility and integration of the solution with the existing system. Logical design involves the design of the blueprint of the solution proposed. Physical design helps one to decide on the tech stack and technologies required. Implementation is done by writing code and building components. Testing is done to check if the functionalities are working as expected. Maintenance involves regular upgrades in the software, fixing issues, etc.
