Summary
In this chapter, we learned about the full stack and monorepo architectures of the application we'll be building throughout this book, as well as the technologies we'll be utilizing to build it.
After covering the architecture and technologies, we looked at how to install MySQL on our development machine. Finally, we learned how to install and set up Node.js, which is required by our full stack application's frontend and backend.
This chapter is now complete! We need to build a Node.js server with GraphQL support, to implement the backend, now that we've set up the development environment and installed Node.js. In the following chapter, we'll begin by installing and configuring Express.js, before adding Apollo Server and looking at how to test and debug our GraphQL server.
