Most Popular Technology Stack

Idea behind the Stack

Software Products ,any combination of various programming languages and technologies refer a ” Stack”.

Technically there are two types of development stacks: 

1. Technology stack : the technology stack is a more cross-disciplinary term in any software development process.

2. Application Stack

In my post i am going to provide details about 3 most popular technology stacks to choose from; for you future projects.

But before starting with the technology stack, you need to understand the feasibility and attribute of the stack which is pretty essential in development as well as software product solutions.

Let’s Refresh your mind with Agile Developemet

Agile software development refers to a group of software development methodologies based on iterative development, where requirements and solutions evolve through collaboration between self-organizing cross-functional teams.

Agile methods or Agile processes generally promote a disciplined project management process that encourages frequent inspection and adaptation, a leadership philosophy that encourages teamwork, self-organization and accountability, a set of engineering best practices intended to allow for rapid delivery of high-quality software, and a business approach that aligns development with customer needs and company goals.

Agile development refers to any development process that is aligned with the concepts of the Agile Manifesto. The Manifesto was developed by a group fourteen leading figures in the software industry, and reflects their experience of what approaches do and do not work for software development. 

While you are an expert in using technology, choosing the right technological infrastructure for your business is never easy. By enhancing your technology infrastructure, it always gives you the hickup. However, as a stakeholder, you are asked to do it every once too often, and you can’t avoid that. There are different database architectures and software solutions, and you are not too aware of the differences between them, so you don’t exactly know which hosting solution you should go for and why.

1. Know the project requirements
2. Introduce agility
3. Go beyond project requirement for better audience
4. Expertise and knowledge of team or organization you are hiring
5. Flexibility & scalability of the development team
6. The final development cost

What is Full stack and why to choose?

Full stack: 

Skilled developers come from various streams; to be specific, there is Frontend, Backend, Database, Mobile App and Testing. Earlier the developers have gained particular expertise in any of the above fields and carry forward their career in that domain. However, the trends are changed now. The demand for technologies has mandated the developers to work on both Frontend as well as on Backend and much more.
Full Stack Developers are at the limelight because of the numerous benefits they deliver, most likely unique code for multiple technologies & multi-technology project to create a great UX/UI.

Developers these days are comprehending and can solve glitches across several streams of software development. Companies are now rigorously trying to hire full stack developers, who can build the complete web or app from scratch, without any discontinuation in the process.

Benefits Of Full Stack:

Still confused about whom to hire! Check the below-mentioned advantages of having Full Stack Development:

• Easy Switching between the front end and back end development based on the requirement of the project.
• Look after the entire design structure and work on any level as required during development.
• Cost Saving by hiring a specialized full stack developer rather than hiring front end and back end specifically.
• Easy to take ownership of design & implementation on a site
• Easy to upgrade with new technology and tools faster than someone specializing only in the front end or back end technology.
• Comprehensive work for individual Full Stack developer gives the flexibility to move from task to task according to the need of the project.
• A complete solution to problems, go to the root of a problem without just focusing on solutions.
• An ideal option for small & medium enterprises as the complex website requirement can be broken into segments to save time.

What is MEAN stack and why to choose?

The term “MEAN Stack” stated as a set of collected JavaScript-based technologies used to develop complex websites and web apps(progressive or responsive). In simple words, MEAN, as explained as a full-stack JavaScript framework — which simplifies and accelerates web & application development.

MongoDB, Express.JS, Angular, and Node.JS are a group of technologies that make a combination of MEAN Stack technology in Mobile and Web Applications.

In recent time, some of the complex websites & web apps(responsive) are powered by MEAN Stack.

MEAN Stack is one of the fastest growing open source stack development framework assists developer or teams with popular tools or plugins to reduces the time on system administration and it also allows the quicker deployment of web apps, websites and API’s to concentrate on the complex development process of your project.

• MongoDB: Document database — used by your back-end application to store its data as JSON (JavaScript Object Notation) documents.

• Express (sometimes referred to as Express.js): Back-end web application framework running on top of Node.js.

• Angular (formerly Angular.js, now also known as Angular 2): Front-end web app framework; runs your JavaScript code in the user’s browser, allowing your application UI to be dynamic.

• Node.JS: JavaScript runtime environment — lets you implement your application back-end in JavaScript.

Benefits Of Choosing MEAN Stack:

• Covers the full web development cycle from front end development (client side) to back end development (server side) using JavaScript.
• Supports the MVC(Model View Controller) architecture to make the development process flow smoothly.
• The merger of four great technologies, i.e., MongoDB, Express.JS, Angular.JS, and Node.JS.
• Comes with a pre-built extensive suite of testing tools.
• Open source in frameworks and backed by good community supports.
• Helps to resist unnecessary grunt work, thus keeping the web application development much organized.

What is MERN stack and why to choose?

MERN Stack, a combination of technologies used to craft premium web apps. Web apps are developed using multiple technologies more likely to say frameworks, libraries, databases and more. The MERN stack is a JavaScript stack used for the smooth flow of the development process. MERN consists of different open-source components: MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js. All the components provide the end-to-end framework support for developers to work in.

The MERN stack is becoming increasingly popular and is a powerful stack to work in. The “MERN stack” refers to the following technologies as follows:

1. MongoDB: A document-based No-SQL ,open source database
2. Express: A Fast, un-opinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js
3. React: A JavaScript front-end library with bulding single page user interface,
4. Node.js: Node.js is a JavaScript runtime built on Chrome’s V8 JavaScript engine. Node.js brings JavaScript to the server(to Compile Js codes)

The MERN stack is very similar to MEAN stack. The only difference here is that the MEAN stack is making use of Angular to build the front-end web application but in the MERN stack is using React instead.

Benefits Of Choosing MERN Stack:

• Covers the full web development cycle from front end development (client side) to back end development (server side) using JavaScript.
• Supports the MVC(Model View Controller) architecture to make the development process flow smoothly.
• With the JavaScript stack, developers only need to be proficient in JavaScript and JSON.
• Feasibility of four best technologies, i.e., MongoDB, ExpressJS, React, and NodeJS.
• Comes with a pre-built extensive suite of testing tools.
• Open source in frameworks and backed by good community supports.

Conclusion

As best of my knowledge, I concluded all the basics and technical fundamentals of three technology stacks to take into consideration before engaging your project in the wrong direction or hands of the development process. These developers skilled in all aspects of web and software app or product development. In the earlier stage of services, these are the most covered technologies in above Post.
