Abstract: In the past, web development was primarily based on the LAMP stack (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP, or Perl) and Java-based applications (Java EE, Spring). However, these stacks are made up of different programming languages and can be difficult for a single developer to understand. Advances in web technology over the last few years have allowed developers to participate in both the front-end and back-end processes of web applications. The main goal of this thesis was to explore the basic components of the very popular MREN stack. The MERN stack, which stands for MongoDB, Express.js, React.js, and Node.js, allows developers to easily integrate web development in a single programming language called JavaScript.
