In computing, a solution stack or software stack is a set of software subsystems or components needed to create a complete platform such that no additional software is needed to support applications.[1] Applications are said to "run on" or "run on top of" the resulting platform.

For example, to develop a web application, the architect defines the stack as the target operating system, web server, database, and programming language. Another version of a software stack is operating system, middleware, database, and applications.[2] Regularly, the components of a software stack are developed by different developers independently from one another.

Some components/subsystems of an overall system are chosen together often enough that the particular set is referred to by a name representing the whole, rather than by naming the parts. Typically, the name is an acronym representing the individual components.[3]

The term "solution stack" has, historically, occasionally included hardware components as part of a final product, mixing both the hardware and software in layers of support.[4][5]

Defining Full Stack: Full Stack Development refers to the expertise in both front-end and back-end technologies of web development. A Full Stack Developer possesses a versatile skill set, capable of handling the complete spectrum of software development.[6]

Who is a Full Stack Developer: A Full Stack Developer is proficient in both client-side (front-end) and server-side (back-end) development, ensuring end-to-end functionality and seamless user experiences. [7] This versatility allows them to navigate the entire software development process.

Responsibilities of a Full Stack Developer: A full-stack developer is expected to be able to work in all the layers of the application (front-end and back-end). A full-stack developer can be defined as a developer or an engineer who works with both the front and back end development of a website, web application or desktop application.[8] This means they can lead platform builds that involve databases, user-facing websites, and working with clients during the planning phase of projects. Full Stack Developers architect and implement software solutions, handle databases, design user interfaces, and ensure the seamless integration of various components.

Skills Required: A Full Stack Developer should be well-versed in frontend technologies: (HTML, CSS, JavaScript), and backend technologies (Node.js, Python, Ruby), databases (MySQL, MongoDB), and frameworks (React, Angular, Express).[9]
