How the MERN

Stack Works –
Explained with
Real-World Flow
By Karan Raval | Full-Stack Developer
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.
