The MERN Stack - a web technology stack consisting of MongoDB, Express.js, React, and Node.js - was introduced around 2018 as a popular set of technologies to enable end-to-end development in JavaScript. Although the popularity of fullstack frameworks such as Next.js means that MERN isn't as popular as it once was, it is still a viable and productive choice with its decoupled architecture providing more flexibility than you'll get with a fullstack framework.

Today, I'd like to introduce the TERN (Tigris, Express.js, React, and Node.js) stack which replaces MongoDB with Tigris.
