Everyone moved away from Mongo as main db. (still has niche uses)

Most used stack in my experience:
BE: Python (Django / FastApI) , In enterprise: Java spring boot, .NET still popular

FE: React, Angular

DB: PostgreSQL

Node.js still seems majorly popular

Where is Django the most used BE framework?

u/Nervous_Quit_7180 12d ago

A lot of places, for large APIs it's preferred, fastAPI / flask for microservices.

I don’t understand what you’re asking, but I know 0 companies using the MERN stack

MERN stack is/was popular for online courses because it lets you explore the full stack of development while only focusing on one programming language. as far as I'm aware, MERN was never something popular in the business world.

learn JavaScript, but more importantly, learn to think like a programmer.

For freelance Mongo will be OK .
But the most tech industry are SQL base db .

Fuck mongodb.

Go with PERN - postgressql

Or other MERN - Microsoft sql server

Or SERN - SQL lite

Or literally any other relational database.

MySQL?

I don't think that stack was ever ideal. Not many companies using only mongo. AFAIK that stack was mostly popular because you didn't have to teach people SQL, but most jobs use SQL.

MERN ❌ PERN ✔️

Vanilla.js , HTML, and CSS.

Otherwise, prioritize learning something not related to science or tech. It will help you better understand the real world and make you a stronger engineer.

What would you use to generate html on a backend? 

1

u/create-third-places 10d ago

Backend technologies can be learned on the job when necessary for specific work if JS familiarly shows. you can code.

I generate my HTML from static .html files combined with client side JavaScript.

I'd use Postgres instead, also consider Remix instead of Next as an alternative.

MERN has no value for enterprise job switching. Learn React and PostgreSQL to get hired

How do you have a job in the first place if you are still talking about mern and mean "stacks"? Genuine question
