Angular CubeDrive is based on Angular platform. Angular is a modern web developer's platform. For more detail, please visit: https://angular.io/
MySQL 5.7 and MongoDB 3.4 MongoDB is a popular, open-source NoSQL database management system that uses a document-oriented data model. It is designed to be flexible, scalable, and easy to use. Instead of using traditional tables and rows, MongoDB stores data in flexible, JSON-like documents with dynamic schemas, allowing for fast and easy development and scaling.
Java 1.8 CubeDrive backend is written with Java language.
Nginx Nginx is often used as a reverse proxy, which means that it acts as a gateway between a client and a server. When a client requests a resource from a server, the request is first sent to Nginx, which then forwards the request to the appropriate server. This can help to distribute the workload across multiple servers, improve performance and reliability, and add an extra layer of security.
