If the technologies suggested is limited to MEAN/ MERN/ MEVN then its your personal / team preference of front-end technology. (You & your team is more comfortable with . ( MongoDb- Express - (Angular / React / Vue ) - Node JS )

Angular / React / Vue all are good frameworks and has their own area of expertise. React is efficient at DOM manipulations, Angular is super powerful as an whole front-end framework .

If you want to explore alternative back-ends .. Spring (Java) with Postgre / MongoDb is a good and reliable option.

Let's say I am open to other options as well.....then what would you suggest?

Single page application always gives a better user experience for ecommerce application. You can use MEAN, MERN, MEVN or php/rails/django as an backend api and angular/ember/react/vue as frontend.

Hi Amaan Kulshreshtha

I build Cezerin - React and Node.js based e-commerce platform with:

Server: Node.js (v8.9) + Express

Client: React (16) + Redux + SSR to be SEO friendly

Database: MongoDB + native Node.js client

Authentication: is password less with JWT

Also, Cezerin is PWA with API-centric Architecture.

Sure why not Amaan Kulshreshtha so let me explain the reason why i have suggested you to have Mongo DB for Document Data Store and MySQL for Transnational.

As eCommerce is so big and categorized market and we have to manage "n" number of products. And MONGODB is proven document oriented NoSQL database. As this is schema less we can mange categories of product and also suitable to store a product as a documents.

When we come to MySQL already proven by industry as robust transaction support also in terms of scalability and flexibility.

EX: Lets say the product you are selling is a document which might have a structured or unstructured data or keys which can be easily stored in MONGO DB, so basically we can say as we found the need of storing some unstructured data this looks more helpful. When some is going a head to pay some amount we make sure to enter and store the key's properly so it always set very few specific mandatory and structured value & attributes.
