MERN Stack is Dead? (the right full-stack path for 2025)

[@elisdotenv]

I remember he wore an orange kurta in a video explaining the event loop in JS. He nailed the concept, and I still remember the whole video, hence the idea of EVENT LOOP, this guy is a blessing to us

I'm Nigerian, and I have really come to love Akshay after completing the js series and following him on Twitter. He knows what he is talking about, and he is always sincere. I'm definitely going to get the react and NodeJS series soon

[@gsdwiwedi6950]

why people run behind tech stack , pick any & plz run behind concepts , system design , security .

[@ruhifarhath727]

Great point bro 👍

[@IAmUsingAndroid]

Instead of learning to use a framework one should learn how the framework works under the hood, how this magic is happening.

[@khairiyusoff5040]

System design ftw

[@sourabh2559]

​@@IAmUsingAndroidyes, this is important. Anyone can import a package and implement methods, important thing is to understand how the things are bulid.

[@ssk7690]

The best tech stack currently if you want to do both frontend and backend is: React + Java (for big companies). For small startups: mernstack, sure. But if you're good at either frontend or backend, and want to become fullstack (for some reason) pick one from these two. If you're a fresher/college kid looking for a fullstack job mern stack is a good option to start with.

[@mate_motive]

What about next and convex as backend as solo dev

[@ssk7690]

@ there’s nothing that’s bad about. What I have mentioned here is the best stack for certain situations. Next js is unstable, and I heard about convex for the first time today.

[@parvezsiddique6703]

Another best is react +golang

[@dbosss3142]

Bro it’s up to us that how ur implement the things that’s it java is not the best way we can use type script as well for backend

[@vukkumsp]

I think for big companies, Angular also good one

[@Nature4You-RCH]

Angular vs. React isn't about company size-both can be chosen by any type of company. The decision depends on which tech stack best suits the project's requirements.

[@tejasparmar462]

I work for Big MNC, and I have a good client there. Our project started recently, and we are only using MERN.

[@khairiyusoff5040]

Yes. I am working with big MNC we are still using React v16 with nvm use 14.

[@javascripttalks]

Having 12 years exp in tech and now working in SAP Labs, I would say that big orgs don't choose a complete stack like MERN or anything like that. They choose a lot of different technologies in both frontend and backend. So learning MERN stack doesn't mean you will get a job in that stack, may be you will be proficient in those 4 among other 20 different technologies used by the company. But for startups, yes they use a well known stack to save time.

[@Sportgameww]

Which stack?

[@dddddeeeevvvvvv]

Big orgs choose Abstract services mostly. Things like Servicenow

[@harharmahadev1038]

What do you do in sap labs I’m curious like ABAP?

[@piyush_ferex]

i am learning MERN for like a year now , have good understanding of concepts and can make apps , but i am a bit slow , takes GPTing and googling to finish a personal project , i need a job in upcoming 3-4 months , i have no one who can truly guide ne , can you please give me some insights or tips or a brief guide (i don't trust these youtubers)

[@javascripttalks]

@@harharmahadev1038 no, I am in frontend mainly. Javascript, react, ui5 and some of sap’s in house ui frameworks

[@shahtazrahman3282]

I loved your honesty when you admitted about the thumbnail and title

[@brokegod5871]

My two cents is MERN is not dead, but sticking to just MERN is bad for your career growth in future. Companies usually do not constraint themselves to MERN, they use various technologies along with MERN. In my opinion, learning MERN is still a great starting point for fullstack experience but you should be learning new stacks. Some examples would be NextJS, Spring, DynamoDB/AWS etc

[@Hashir-d9j]

what about Django

[@Nitesh_Arya77]

Is it okay to learn AWS after react js ?

[@IAmOxidised7525]

You will almost never see a MERN stack only tech being , any successful company/ startup built their tech a decade ago, because that's how long it takes to be successful / decent in Indian market , so you can fully expect the tech chosen to be a decade older

[@codencode5546]

Any JAVA Experience Dev/Anyone, I'm in 4th yr and I know MERN, Should I learn Java Parallelly to target enterprise level Companies. And Currently I don't have any Work Experience. I've seen Java is Most Popular especially for backend. Appreciated your Advice.

[@rahimkhan-fh9dd]

Yes, You can learn Java and become a full stack developer. Java is in demand as it ruled over 2 decades in the IT industry. For the last 2 decades lacs of the projects have been built using Java technology and companies need Java developers to support their projects.

[@Nak_tak1]

But how will u maintain both in parallel,java is vast

[@rahimkhan-fh9dd]

@@Nak_tak1 As our experience grows, we get used to working on multiple things; this is common. In my case, my journey started with Java and I have been sticking to Java for a couple of years. Then I started exploring other languages like Python, Javascript, and C sharp. Presently I work on all 3 languages parallely like Java along with Angular for web based application. .Net for Standalone application. Python for AWS automation script. I suggest, master in any one programming language and explore others. With time, you will learn multi things. It's all about action in right direction.

The thing is never love specific tech or stack. Always be open to learn new things. Cause there will always be a new thing coming which is going to be used as legacy. You don't have to be perfect, You just have to know how to work something out

[@deepakbisht4957]

Exactly! I still don't understand why people starts crying when they hear a particular tech stack is declining. You are a software developer and you should be open to use any tech stack. A programming language or a framework is not your destination that you can't move on from that...

[@vardhanSparsh]

Well, I'm new in this field and also I'm pursuing Full-Stack Web Development, from Prepleaf by Masai. So, I'll say, I never heard about MERN Stack becoming Dead. I saw your thumbnail, and just clicked it for information. I gained various insights about the tech used in the production stage of Github. I'm glad that I watched this video. Plus, I have a favor to ask. See, if there is a possibility for you to make a proper video on how to study MERN Stack in proper way. I face difficulties while understanding the concepts because I go into the concepts too deep and concludes on not understanding it which leads me to get irritated. It is due to my urge to understand deep concepts and in failing to do so makes me irritated. Kindly see if you can make a video on it. Thank you :)

Dude when will this chase for tech stacks get ended. It is not a questions of which tech stack you are in unless you choose somethig which has'nt been used for a decade. What matters is how good of an engineer you are. If you are a backend developer pick any popular stack like node, spring boot or django and master it thoroughly. Once you master it build good utility based projects and explore other stack exisitng parallely. Good problem solving and development skills get you paid not a specific tech stack. And no company operates in only one tech so they look for a person who is a master of his art and is adaptable to other stacks.

I met a kid online he is in 8grade and he already knows html css js and git github 🙄😶, 1 job opening 5-10k applicants applied in less than 20 hrs 😶 u getting a job is very much difficult now+ 5 more years and ai stacks will be there and ai software assistants will be there! This field will not run for more than 10-15 years. Today u need 8 junior devs for a project later you will need only 2-3 coz they can use ai. So the job opening will go less and less and less. This is WHY I am leaving it (still thinking) it's not worth anymore. Pls go check job portals and Indian market and then us market u will know reality! Yes it's a good place to start for non coders but unless u are too good u won't get a job at all and even if you'll get one it will be very less priced and ask for many skills.
