Full stack means doing more than one part of an software or web application—not just one. In web development, this often involves front-end development, back-end development, database, API, and possibly deployment or infrastructure. A full stack developer is aware of how each layer works together to provide users with a working application. For instance, they can design the user interface through which users interact with the system, design the server-side code that powers the interface, link a database (or databases), and link an API. What exactly the technology stack is, and how it differs from project to project, can vary, but full stack development encompasses a wide section of the application development process.
