- Express Framework: Provides a fast, minimalist web framework for Node.js, making it easy to build RESTful APIs and manage server-side routing.
- Angular Framework: A powerful front-end framework that enables the development of dynamic single-page applications with reactive components.
- Node.js Environment: Utilizes a JavaScript runtime for server-side programming, ensuring that both client and server can be developed in the same language.
- Scalability: Supports scaling applications easily as both Neo4j and Node.js are designed to handle growing amounts of data and user load efficiently.
- Developer-friendly: Offers straightforward setup and configuration, reducing the initial friction that can accompany advanced tech stacks.
- Community Support: Backed by large communities around each technology, providing extensive resources, tutorials, and forums for troubleshooting and learning.
- Angular
Angular is a TypeScript-based open-source framework by Google for building dynamic single-page applications and cross-platform mobile apps with MVC architecture and a rich set of features.
- Express
Express.js is a simple Node.js framework for single, multi-page, and hybrid web applications.
- Pwa
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a type of web application that uses modern web technologies to provide a native app-like experience to users, including offline functionality, push notifications, and device hardware access. PWAs can be installed on a user's home screen and launched like a traditional app, but do not require a separate app store listing or download.
- Typescript
TypeScript is a superset of JavaScript, providing optional static typing, classes, interfaces, and other features that help developers write more maintainable and scalable code. TypeScript's static typing system can catch errors at compile-time, making it easier to build and maintain large applications.
- Webpack
Webpack is a popular open-source module bundler for JavaScript applications that bundles and optimizes the code and its dependencies for production-ready deployment. It can also be used to transform other types of assets such as CSS, images, and fonts.
