What is Full-Stack Development?

Full-stack development refers to the development of both the front-end and back-end of a web application or website. But first, what’s ‘full stack’?

A full-stack is made up of the front end that deals with the user interface, the back end that deals with data validation, and the database that acts as storage—a repository of information from the front end through the logic layer.

Full-Stack Development enables rapid project delivery

Tasks related to integration, updates, front-end, and back-end coordination, and meeting client expectations—all fall within the scope of a full-stack developer role. Not only does this help in lowering the dependencies on other teams—which often delays execution—it speeds up the development cycle and brings in cost efficiencies.

With greater productivity comes greater responsibility

Full-stack developers get to work with the client-side as well as the server-side of the application. This gives the developer more control over the product and makes way for far more creative flexibility. The ability to see the big picture empowers full-stack developers to make decisions faster, giving them an edge over other developers.
