Why MERN Stack? MongoDB, Express, React, and Node.js are the four most popular web technologies in the world for building platforms like this. They are free and open-source, work seamlessly together, and are used by companies like LinkedIn, Uber, and Airbnb. It means Amara's Platform is built on the same foundations as the world's biggest apps — and can scale to match.

When Amara's Platform grows — just upgrade the hosting plan. No need to rebuild the architecture until you reach 100,000+ users. Start small, scale when ready.
