As a newbie to the node.js world, there seems to be a lot of talk about the MEAN stack (http://mean.io http://mean.io).
What do you (or others) suggest as a good replacement for MongoDB in that stack?
- nasalgoat 13y agoYou shouldn't try to run all-in-one stacks and instead carefully consider each of your tools as appropriate for your application. Picking something because it's easy is bad.
- nlh 13y agoThank you. I spent a few days digging into the Node world and came to the same conclusion. I'm actually a bit surprised how long it took me to figure out that's actually the best practice -- I dug around a bunch of rails-like frameworks and was wondering why they didn't seem to be more widely adopted (Sails, Compound, etc) until it finally made sense that "The Node Way" is to add bits and pieces (usually on top of Express) to build a stack that's specific to needs.
