Author: Ajay Kumbhar

When you start a company and prefer to use MERN stack for development? What questions and curiosities come to your mind. Will you think about your technology stack being able to provide you with success when it comes to app development. Why do you choose this platform when there are several others out there that can equally do a good job at providing features and benefits for your app to inherit.

Here we are going to provide you with top compelling reasons why we feel that MERN is the preferred platform for startup app development. So let's begin.

Here are my reasons why you should consider MERN for app development

Great Community:

Ever since the introduction of MERN, or the mongodb, express, reactjs and nodejs as the full stack web development component, the community of developers that MERN provides, has been ever-growing. This community is witness to some awesome help and feedback that is offered and used for the development and usage by this community. The community is ever so helpful when it comes to solving developer issues and providing them with appropriate solutions that give resolution to the problems faced by developers and programmers of MERN alike. This provides a seamless way in which all the queries and doubts faced by developers are resolved within the span of 24 hours. This community is in tandem with some of the best communities of developers all around the world which provide feedback and improvements as well as updates to the components used in the MERN stack.

Full Stack development

Another major reason for MERN to be popular among developers and startups alike is its ability to provide all round development via FULL STACK capabilities. Full stack capabilities means that end to end development can be provided and performed using all the components of the stack without relying on any other third party component that needs to be used. You can design the front end via react, the database design via mongodb, the backend capabilities via nodejs, and many more. This feature allows developers to concentrate on the core thing that is development and does not get distracted with the other objectives of app development.

MVC architecture support

MVC means model view controller and this MERN stack supports the model view controller concept right from the start of development. This provides the developers to separate the core business logic from the presentation layer and the view layer thereby facilitating interaction and communication between these different components in the application. This makes it easy for developers and programmers to design and implement the workflow in the application that is under development and it makes this process easier and secure. MVC is being used by many other frameworks as well to facilitate development and ease it for creating complex and simple applications.

Low learning curve

Programmers and developers who have little to no experience in developing applications and those who are completely novice in web development using MERN will find it quite easy using MERN to develop applications. This is because the applications and the concepts to learn are quite easy. Therefore the learning curve is small thus providing developers with enough knowledge to use the various components for app development.

Thorough documentation

The documentation that is provided for MERN development is thorough and to the point. All the programming and development concepts are easily and well explained using examples where needed. Developers will find no trouble finding information and a particular concept to learn as it is quite easy to navigate and understand as well as finding the required topic is also easy.

Talent Pool

Startups will find it easy to hire developers from talent pools as there are quite a few professional developers that are seasoned and experienced to do the job. Therefore startups will have no trouble hiring fresh talent for development purposes as there are plenty of developer in the pool.

Open source

There requires no license or subscription in order to use MERN for commercial app development purposes. Because it is open source and the source code for MERN is easily available for all on the internet. Emerging companies and startups will face no issues using MERN as their active development platform due to its open source nature.

Conclusion

So we have listed down the top reason why we feel that MERN is the preferred and the best platform for developing apps when it comes to startup companies. All of the above reasons are what developers have experienced and faced. It comes down to personal preference when choosing a development platform which aid your development process.
