MEAN stack development services one part at a time
We have no published build on the full MEAN stack. We have shipped Angular in four builds and Node.js in one, and we show where each part stands today.

When the MEAN stack is the right call
Pick the MEAN stack when
- One team writes JavaScript or TypeScript from database to browser
- Your data is documents
- You already run Angular
Look elsewhere when
- You need a published MEAN build to inspect, which we do not have
- The data is relational or geospatial, where we used PostgreSQL
- Your back end is .NET and works well

DockerFAQs
What buyers ask first
What does MEAN stand for?
MongoDB, Express, Angular and Node.js.
Do you have a published full MEAN build?
No. We say so on the first call and show the nearest work, which is Angular front ends and a Node.js back end.
Which Express version should we use?
Express 5, which needs Node.js 18 or newer. The Express project supports only the latest version of any given major release line.
Who owns the code and the cloud accounts?
You do, from the first commit. Repositories and cloud accounts stay in your name.
