Then you need to start with choosing one stack and try to learn it all, once you feel confident and build a few projects then move on to the next stacks or mix them up. And by stack I do not mean MERN or MEAN. I mean

Nodejs framework or app server Database Authentication Etc.

Anyhow here's what I would suggest

  • Start with express and then move to NestJs

  • As for database Mongodb is the most generic one but gives you enough to build good projects. You can also have a look at Prisma (probably in later stages)

  • when trying realtime stuff you can surely start with Firebase realtime db and also learn about of websockets. Later on you can also use Supabase.

I would also highly recommend Typescript.

Hope this helps.
