What’s full-stack development?

• What is full-stack web development?

  Full-stack web development is about creating your web app or website with a developer who is an expert in HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and a particular backend programming language that you choose for your project. Such a versatile skill set makes them able to complete the whole project as well as manage the software development environment and infrastructure.

• What is the role of a full-stack developer?

  In a small project, a full-stack developer can build and maintain the entire app or website on their own. In a big project, they can guide the development team by sharing their vision and knowledge on business logic, user experience, development best practices, and strategy. They also can help you ideate and prototype your project at the early development stages.

• How do you interview a full-stack developer?

  A full-stack developer is supposed to have working experience in a variety of different roles or a portfolio of projects they completed independently. They should be able to answer technical questions related to every technology on their stack. Apart from tech skills, you should check their understanding of business logic, user interfaces, development workflows, and project management.

• Is a full-stack developer better than a team of back and front-end developers?

  Technically, yes. A full-stack developer will be well versed in a combination of multiple programming languages, libraries, runtime environments, and other technology stacks to solve challenging problems in any development stage. At the minimum, one full-stack developer will be able to fill two roles that ordinarily might require two different people. Depending on the seniority of the position, as well as the skill of the candidate, they might replace an entire team or even an entire department. Full-stack developers can sometimes be referred to as software engineers, although the latter would be a broader term depending on the contextual requirements of the position.

• Which frameworks are full-stack developers versed in?

  Becoming a full-stack developer is not an easy task. First, they need to be familiar with the entirety of the software development process from beginning to end. Knowing one specific technology or a single stack won’t make the cut. To create web applications, developers need to show a high degree of familiarity with Angular, Django, Rails including RoR (Ruby on Rails), Node.js, React.js, Spring, Symfony, Android SDK, Objective-C, Meteor.js, and many more libraries and frameworks. As the influx of new technologies has been known to overshadow older coding paradigms, full-stack web developers have to constantly add new skills on top of their existing knowledge—sometimes even following daily updates.
