PERN Stack (Postgres)
Postgres, Express, React, Node.js. SQL-backed JS stack.
Architecture Diagram
Description
The PERN stack is similar to MERN but chooses PostgreSQL for data integrity and relational mapping.
It is ideal for applications that require complex queries, transactions, and structured data schemas.
