Editor's update February 22, 2016: Click to Deploy MEAN is no longer available, but you can launch the MEAN solution on Google Cloud Platform here within Cloud Launcher.

If you’re starting out today, there are a number of development stacks to choose from. From the original LAMP (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) to the myriad of other choices, there is a development stack to match your language and experience. For the NodeJS fans out there, the MEAN stack is a great option. Wouldn’t it be awesome if you could launch your favorite development stack with the click of a button?

Today, we’re announcing the first Click to Deploy development stack on Google Compute Engine. MEAN provides you with the best of open source software today:

  • MongoDB, a leading NoSQL database
  • Express Web Framework, a minimal and flexible node.js web application framework
  • AngularJS, an extensible Javascript framework for responsive applications
  • NodeJS, a platform built on Chrome’s JavaScript runtime for server-side Javascript

With a single button click, you can launch a complete MEAN development stack ready for development! Click to Deploy for MEAN handles all software installs and setting up a sample app for you to get started.

So, get out and click to deploy your MEAN development stack today!
