A full-stack developer is a type of programmer that has a functional knowledge of all techniques, languages and systems engineering concepts required in software development. The term “full stack” refers to the technologies and skills needed to complete a project, with each individual component being a stack. Stacks can be mobile, Web or software specific.

Typically, a software engineer will focus on one part of development, either the front end or the back end. The front end includes all components associated with the visible parts of an application or website while the back end encompasses the underlying databases and infrastructure. [1]

Figure 1. A full stack developer will have knowledge of the various roles that enable full stack web development. This would mean having a deep knowledge of client software and server software, including of course web frameworks that will ease the software development process.

Although a team of full stack developers can work on a full stack web development project, your business can also hire a team of diversely skilled developers — both front-end and back-end developers — to complete the same project. [2]

Benefits of Full Stack Development

Time and Money Saver

A full stack developer has higher insight about how the business needs to be developed due to end-to-end visibility.It also makes switching between front and backend relatively easier for them, as they can manage both spectrums.Furthermore, such developer can resolve complex programming problems in less time and money.

Rounded Solution

A person with expertise in all tiers can develop a rounded solution that has lesser bugs and higher efficiency.This makes debugging the code and even testing the product, a relatively easier task.All these factors have a positive effect on the overall outcome of the time frame to develop a solution.

Higher Visibility

Full stack software engineers can provide you a solution by keeping the entire design structure in mind.They don’t think from just one perspective, but give you a solution that best fits for both frontend and backend.Because the developer has higher visibility regarding the structure of the program, alongside its representation on the front-end.
