Introduction

his document provides a clear understanding of the roles and responsibilities of a Full Stack Developer in a project. It also outlines the essential technologies and skills required for the role.

A Full Stack Developer works on both the front-end (user-facing side) and back-end (server-side and infrastructure) of an application, as well as the software that connects the two. This means they handle everything from designing user interfaces to managing databases and ensuring the system runs smoothly. To excel in this role, a Full Stack Developer should have expertise in:

---

• Server, network, and hosting environments
• Relational and non-relational databases
• API integration and external system interactions
• User interface (UI) and user experience (UX) design
• Quality assurance and testing
• Application security best practices
• Understanding customer and business requirements

By mastering these areas, a Full Stack Developer can effectively bridge the gap between technology and business needs, delivering seamless and efficient solutions.

Key Technologies to Master

Front-end technologies:
HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and Bootstrap are fundamental for the front-end development so you must learn and grip first

Apart from basic front-end technologies, you can learn JavaScript based frameworks such as React JS, or Angular.

Back-end technologies:
This is the most important thing which you need to work on while choosing the best technology for you. You need to decide which basic language (technical) you have known most or master. There are many back-end technologies such as Java, PHP, .Net, ROR, Python, etc.

Here are few suggested back-end technologies

• Spring Boot
• NodeJS
• PHP based frameworks like PHP based framework Laravel, CodeIgniter etc.

Database:

The developer should know the basics of database administration and a good understanding of SQL, Stored Procedure and Database Design concepts. Also, the developer should know the communication concept between database and back end code (ex. Java or Python, etc). Please focus on the below database –

• Oracle or any enterprise-level database
• MySQL
• H2 or PostgreSQL

Additional Technologies & Tools

---

During my recent interviews, I learned about additional responsibilities and skills that every Full Stack Developer should be familiar with. While these may not require deep expertise, having a basic understanding is essential. Below are the key areas and tools highlighted by interviewers:

Code Management, Build, and Deployment Tools

• Code Commit: GitHub, SVN
• Code Build: Maven, Ant
• Automated Build and Deployment: Jenkins, TeamCity

Other Important Technologies

It’s also beneficial to have foundational knowledge of widely-used technologies such as:

• Cloud Platforms: AWS
• Containerization: Docker
• Orchestration: Kubernetes
• DevOps Concepts: CI/CD pipelines, infrastructure as code, and monitoring

Familiarity with these tools and concepts can significantly enhance your effectiveness as a Full Stack Developer and make you a more well-rounded candidate.
