## What it is
A fullstack JavaScript starter framework combining MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node.js (the MEAN stack) for building scalable web applications. It provides an end-to-end scaffold with development and Docker-based setup out of the box.

## Use cases
- build a fullstack javascript web app
- start a MEAN stack project with mongo express angular node
- scaffold a cloud native node application
- prototype a dynamic web application with mongodb backend
- set up a dockerized angular and node development environment

## When to choose
- you want an all-JavaScript fullstack starter with MongoDB, Express, Angular, and Node
- you need a quick scaffold for a cloud native web application
- you prefer a batteries-included stack with Docker support

## When to avoid
- you prefer React or Vue instead of Angular
- you need a relational database like PostgreSQL or MySQL
- you want a minimal setup without an opinionated fullstack structure

## Facets
