What are you using for your front-end? You could build your front-end as a static files and put them on Netlify of Firebase or AWS or where ever you want. Then, you could communicate with your back-end via REST endpoints where this code could live separately from your front-end.

I'm using a mix of express and angular js for the frontend, combined with bootstrap and jquery. I've not heard of that but I'll research into this as it sounds a lot easier but still better to do a real one first :)

Hey Bridget Sarah, so you probably don't want to be using jQuery with AngularJS, if you can avoid it.

And, to be clear, Express runs server-side.

So, with your technologies, a viable stack might be NodeJS + Express to power your back-end and AngularJS on the client.

If you are just learning, maybe a better option might be to use something like Firebase to take care of all your back-end needs so that you only worry about the front-end.

Let me know if you have any questions.
