MEVN Stack Powered by GlobalSolutions
We have installed the MEVN stack which makes it easier for our customers to focus on building web applications rather than spending time building the stack. The MEVN stack involves four technologies to build an end-to-end web application: MongoDB, Express.js, Vue.js, and Node.js. MEVN is one of the most popular full-stack JavaScript stacks that can be used to build scalable, production-ready web applications.
- MongoDB: A highly scalable and flexible document database with efficient querying and indexing.
- Node.js: A runtime environment and library used to run web applications outside the client's browser. Used as the backend.
- Express.js: A minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides robust features for web and mobile applications.
- Vue.js: A progressive JavaScript framework for building user interfaces.
We have ensured the image is hardened to be secured from all existing vulnerabilities.

Getting Started
The MEVN offering from GlobalSolutions comes pre-packaged with all the dependent components. All you have to do is subscribe to our AMI and start using it right away.
Sample MEVN Application
The MEVN stack application is located at C:\projects\mevn-app and consists of two components: a Vue frontend (client) running on port 5173 and an Express backend (server) running on port 5000, with MongoDB running as a Windows service. Both the client and server components are managed by PM2 and configured to start automatically on instance boot via pm2-windows-startup.
A desktop shortcut named MEVN has been created to open http://localhost:5173/, which launches the Vue frontend of the MEVN stack application in a browser.
Double-clicking this shortcut connects to the Vite development server that's already running in the background (managed by PM2 as mevn-frontend), which serves the Vue app's user interface. That frontend, in turn, calls the Express backend running on port 5000, which connects to MongoDB to fetch data — so opening this shortcut displays the full working MEVN application without needing to open PowerShell or start anything manually.
You should see your MEVN Stack Test page load, showing the message pulled from Express/MongoDB — confirming everything is working as expected.
| Port | Component | Purpose |
|---|---|---|
| 5173 | Vue frontend (client) | Served by Vite's development server — what you see when you open http://localhost:5173/ |
| 5000 | Express backend (server) | Handles API requests, e.g. /api/test |
| 27017 | MongoDB | Database's default port — not typically opened to a browser |
