    I have no idea what LAMP is and (since you provided the definition of the acronym) I have no interest in touching MEAN. MEDIAN: Marc's Everlasting Denial In All Nut-techs. Marc

      Nah. NoSQL - refuse to touch it. Express - have no idea what it even is. Angular - might look at it once Google finishes rewriting it. Node.js - refuse to touch it. It's Javascript Marc

        Infoworld[^]:

        LAMP diehards take note: The flexible simplicity of MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and Node.js is no joke.

        Unless you'd prefer to use MEDIAN (but you're on your own for the acronym)

        It doesn't stop at MEAN though! I've come across ANNE (Angular, Node.js, Neo4J, Express), BEANS (Bootstrap, Express, Angular, Node.js, Socket.io) and EARN (Express, Angular, Redis, Node.js) too! Can't wait to see what they come up with next :D

              Express is just a small framework to work with Node.js. It makes routing and adding middleware, exception handling and templating easy. Other popular alternatives are Hapi and Sails. You know I'm no fan of JavaScript, but MEAN has my interest. It's like REALLY flexible across the entire stack. And you're using just one language across your entire stack too. Sure, too bad that's JavaScript, but I don't even think it would be possible with any other language... I can really recommend just spending a Saturday afternoon with MEAN for fun and giggles and see what the hype is about :)

                  Well ok, I confess. I wrote a few hundred lines of PHP. Actually enjoyed it. Marc

                        LAMP = Linux, Apache, MySQL + PHP. Personally, I'd avoid any stack invoking PHP like the plague.

                            Using the Orient driver with a Cassandra database? That doesn't even make any sense! :laugh:

                                      Err, yes. I've got a fairly large scale app running on Node with the business logic all written in TypeScript. It's less processor intensive than running it on an IIS rig so that was a big incentive for me.

                                        Interesting! Gah, I try to avoid IIS. I ended up writing my own web server that could sit under IIS, but there's no need to. Marc

                                          I managed to reduce running costs to about 45% of the IIS costs, keeping a similar throughput. This is purely down to the fact we can run on a lower spec server running Linux.
