MERN Stack vs Laravel - From a Developer's perspective

I’ve personally used both Laravel and MERN stack, and still have ongoing projects with both. There are many things to consider before choosing a stack to work with. For me, it boils down to the following 2 things. Do I need SEO for this project? If yes then Laravel is more favorable over MERN stack. Do I need WebSockets for some “live” functionality? then Node’s the obvious winner. Now don’t get me wrong, Laravel can do live stuff (called broadcasting) and MERN stack can be optimized for search engines, but is it recommended?...
