Not only can you slack some bucks but the developer can answer all your queries about any functionality of the app. The dev will offer a packaged service with front and back end development including handling databases, DevOps, servers, troubleshooting issues, making updates, and more. Sounds awesome, right?<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps this is what leads to the coinage of the industry buzzword \u2013 full-stack developer! Simply hit a search with \u201cfull-stack developer\u201d on Google and you will be filled with a lot of options. How \u201crealistic\u201d is the word? Let\u2019s analyse today.<\/p>\n<p>But before that, let\u2019s take a look at what full stack development really is.<\/p>\n<h2>Full-stack Development \u2013 An Outline<\/h2>\n<p>Full-stack development refers to the development of both the front-end or client-side and the back end or server-side of any web app. So, a full-stack developer should be efficient in the front-end programming languages, frameworks, and libraries like HTML, CSS, JavaScript, Angular, React, Vue.js, Foundation, Materialize, Semantic-UI, Ember.js, etc. The dev should also have an expertise in back-end languages, frameworks, and libraries including PHP, C++, Java, Python, Ruby, Laravel, Django, Rails, Express, Spring, CodeIgniter, Node.js, etc. The developer must also possess proficiency in databases like MongoDB, Oracle, and SQL.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s an extensive list of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webguru-india.com\/blog\/tech-stack-for-web-app-development-2020-updated\/\" target=\"_blank\" >tech-stack used in web application development<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Okay, now, let\u2019s find out whether the term \u201cfull stack developer\u201d is really applicable or not.<\/p>\n<h2>Solo Full-Stack Developers \u2013 Should You Hire Them<\/h2>\n<p>As you have found, full-stack development has a huge list of tech stack and each of these technologies is different from each other. It\u2019s not possible for the developers to acquire skills in each technology. They can possess a broad understanding of all the technologies, but doesn\u2019t have a detailed and deep knowledge of a specialist in each of them. They perhaps are proficient in one or two technologies.<\/p>\n<p>Now, it is difficult to rely on such developers if you want a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webguru-india.com\/blog\/does-your-business-really-need-web-app-insider-view\/\" target=\"_blank\" >smart and trendy application<\/a> that can achieve a competitive edge. You sure don\u2019t want your app to be \u2018just functional\u2019? In fact, as technology advances and competition rises in the industry, it\u2019s crucial to develop a robust, feature-rich, and user-friendly app with high-end UI\/UX, cybersecurity, and quality assurance. Mediocrity cannot get you that \u2013 you need an extensive mastery.<\/p>\n<p>Relying on a solo full-stack developer may produce an adverse impact on your project. Firstly, such developers often possess familiarity with one tech-stack from each category (front and back-end). That way, your options are limited and if you want to develop a unique app that offers a top-notch immersive experience, they\u2019ll fail to deliver that. Further, if they leave midway or cannot execute the entire project single-handedly, you\u2019ll be left with a half-done application and squandered resources.<\/p>\n<h2>What about A Full-Stack Development Company?<\/h2>\n<p>The case is somewhat different about a full-stack web development company. Such a company employs front and backend teams with each tech stack\u2019s masters. So you can expect an unparalleled service.<\/p>\n<p>A full-stack development team (note how we mentioned \u201cteam\u201d and not just a solo developer) can also help you to scale your efforts. For instance, entrepreneurs these days prefer to launch an MVP (Minimal Viable Product) with a few essential features and later extend the features and functionalities. You can get inputs from the team and also seek their assistance to scale your application.<\/p>\n<p>Since many hands are at work at a full-stack development company, you can expect a faster pace of development, higher productivity, quicker time to market, and greater convenience. That\u2019s because, from your end, you can communicate with a single point of contact \u2013 say the project manager. And if you require any detailed info about the stack, you will be tagged with the respective developer. Make sure you <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webguru-india.com\/blog\/mistakes-should-avoid-hiring-dedicated-developers\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">avoid common mistakes<\/a> when hiring dedicated developers, and you should be good to go.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Our Verdict<\/strong><br \/>\nEngaging full-stack <a href=\"https:\/\/www.webguru-india.com\/web-application-development\" target=\"_blank\" >web application development services<\/a> from a professional company instead of a solo developer is the better decision as the developers\u2019 multiple perspectives, experienced and strategic approach, and proficiency in each tech stack will support your business goal. Discuss your requirement with the team before engaging a service. Here\u2019s a guideline on how to choose a reliable web development company.
