MEAN

A JavaScript-based framework for creating web apps and delivering excellent website development services is called the MEAN stack. It consists of MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node. It is a good option for creating cloud-native applications because of its scalability and capacity for handling multiple concurrent users. Some MEAN usage examples include calendars, finance tracking, location finding, etc. 


Let's go through the MEAN stack:

  • Angular.js front end

    AngularJS is a component of the MEAN stack, which aids developers in creating the application's user interface. There is a seamless data exchange between all elements of your program because the backend, frontend, and database are all constructed using JavaScript.

  • Express.js and Node.js server tier

    Express.js is a framework operating on a server of Node.js. Express.js names itself a 

    "fast, unopinionated, minimalist web framework for Node.js," 

    which is precisely what it is.

  • MongoDB database tier

    If your application stores data (user profiles, content, comments, uploads, events, etc.), you'll need a database.

If you want to get the best of MongoDB quickly, look at MongoDB Atlas.

Ruby on Rails:

Ruby programmers designed the Rails web application development framework. It aims to simplify web application programming. It helps you accomplish more with less code than many other languages and frameworks.

GitHub, Hulu, Shopify, Kickstarter, Airbnb, Twitter, and more well-known companies attended the event. 

Rails' rapid development made it so famous, especially among startups.

“Ruby on Rails is a breakthrough in lowering the barriers of entry to programming”.

Tim O'Reilly, Founder of O'Reilly Media

LAMP

In 2023, LAMP will be one of the primary technology foundations for building websites. Check out the components of LAMP:

  • Linux
    Linux is an open-source and free operating system. Today, it has a broad user base that covers many different businesses.
  • Apache
    Anyone in the public domain can access the application with a specific web URL thanks to the Apache web server's processing of requests and delivery of web assets over HTTP.
  • MySQL
    This database is an open-source relational database management system. You can store all your data in a format that the SQL language can access using My SQL.
  • PHP
    The open-source scripting language that you can use to generate dynamic web pages. It works with Apache.

Augmented reality (WebAR)

The following major trend in web development for 2023 is augmented reality (AR).

Web AR is entertaining for viewers and works well for spreading advertising messages. 

The virtual try-on option is one example of implementing WebAR in an e-commerce website development service. It is a popular feature on websites with augmented reality integration. Cosmetic companies have previously demonstrated this to be a great strategy. You may try on any lipstick on the Maybelline and L'Oréal websites by clicking the "Try on" option.

Web 3.0

Web 3.0 gains much popularity now. More and more Users will be able to access information from anywhere without being constrained by conventional systems thanks to Web 3.0. 

The implementation of Web 3.0 will fundamentally alter web design and programming. The next stage of Internet development will give everyone access to a real-time search engine that will link all online data. Therefore let's look at some of these brand-new developments that are soon to be available:

  • Microdata 
    With this HTML5 improvement, it will be feasible to use the same code to express various meanings, depending on which search engine crawls it.
  • N3
    With this language, data can be represented and connected to other datasets.
  • RDFa
    It is a Resource Description Framework in Attributes, which allows you to use attributes to store metadata about your web pages.
  • VoID (or Very Open Interactive Design) 
    By offering visually accessible representations that anybody may easily engage with, this kind of visualization attempts to aid individuals in comprehending the complexities underlying large, complicated datasets.
  • Linked Open Data
    This project was conceived with the notion that by transparently sharing all publicly accessible data among various websites on the internet, numerous problems could be resolved in addition to other advantages.
Meteor JS

An open-source platform for real-time web applications. It provides a comprehensive set of libraries and tools that make delivering high-quality custom web development services simpler.

Meteor JS

Meteor is excellent for quickly developing concepts since it strongly emphasizes speed and simplicity. Additionally, it offers built-in support for D3.js data visualization tools, user authentication, and push alerts.

What makes Meteor different from JavaScript frameworks?

Meteor combines all the components to create contemporary apps from a single JavaScript codebase. JavaScript UI frameworks for React and Vue.js are compatible with Meteor. If you wish, you can also utilize Meteor with GraphQL or REST. Regardless of the UI framework you pick, Meteor is capable of automatically managing the data flow between cloud and client applications, client UI state, and rendering.

Meteor's perks:

  • The framework has resilience and durability because of a wide network of collaborators. 
  • It works across platforms. You may create all of your app's implementations with Meteor in one location.
  • It has built-in MongoDB handlers and GraphQL support.
Gatsby.js

“With non-technical content writers and designers needing the ability to add content quickly to the site, Gatsby's second to none onboarding made it easy for everyone, regardless of skill level, to be successful. This achieved one of the most important goals for the website: the documentation and process was there for the next person so they wouldn't struggle. A home-grown system goes down when the people who created it leave. Gatsby doesn't allow for that — it grows with whoever is at the controls — then seamlessly passes on to the next person”.

Alison JosephFront-end DeveloperIBM

Gatsby is a free and open-source framework built on the JavaScript library React. This framework prefetches resources for other pages after it has loaded. As a result, navigating the website feels quick.

  • Gatsby, first and foremost, makes use of React, making it a fantastic option for those who are familiar with and adore it.
  • Platforms like Netlify work incredibly well with Gatsby, and you can set up your site to build and deploy each time you send a revision to GitHub.
  • A great ecosystem of plugins that meet different needs is also included in Gatsby. These plugins can help you interface with systems like Algolia, source data from CMSs like WordPress or Contentful, and manage your photos by lazy-loading and optimizing them.
  • Gatsby also has a number of APIs that greatly simplify the creation of static websites. One such API is createPage, which makes it simple to convert markdown files into static pages with a template at build time.
  • Last but not least, Gatsby features many fantastic components that simplify tasks like routing, linking, and handling images that are not found in the main React library.
