What is MERN
Stack?
MERN = MongoDB + Express + React + Node.js
A powerful JavaScript tech stack for building full-
stack web apps.
Real-World Use
Case Intro
Let’s Build: A Simple Job Portal
We’ll walk through how each part of MERN works
together in this real-world example.
Frontend –
React
React : Where the User Interacts
Users log in, apply to jobs, view listings. React
handles all this via dynamic UI.
Backend –
Express & Node
Node + Express : The Engine Room
Handles API calls, routes requests, connects
frontend to database.
Database –
MongoDB
MongoDB : Storing Job Listings & Applications
NoSQL structure lets us store resumes, job posts,
and user profiles flexibly.
Request Flow
How Data Travels in MERN
From user input ➝ backend logic ➝ data storage
➝ rendered back to UI.
Authentication
Example
Secure Login with JWT
React sends login info ➝ Express verifies ➝
MongoDB fetches ➝ JWT is returned.
Deployment
Overview
Putting It Online
Use services like Vercel (for frontend), Render or
Railway (for backend), and MongoDB Atlas.
