In software development companies, management hires experts in only one niche to get benefits in development for only that particular niche. So, when once front-end developers finish the tasks, back-end developers take charge of the software development process and finally, DevOps publish the software or upload the website on hosting server to make it live.
Now, software companies looking for developers with working expertise in almost all stacks described here. Thus, time-saving and expenditures on a team of developers cut drastically. To reap these benefits, businesses also looking for Full Stack Software Development Company for their needs.
Well, you are on the way to select a company providing full-stack software development services. There are many in the global market, but the question is how you will gauge the capacities of the selected company in terms of full stack development.
If you are enough tech-savvy or a developer, you may have a concept of full stack and technologies involved in the software development. If you are a business with not many ideas of software stacks and technologies or programs associated with it, let me introduce the same here.
Essential software stacks consist of some critical layers in programs, and main layers found in most software development are:
Front-end (Presentation Layer)
Backend (Business Logic Layer)
Database (Data Layer)
Operating System (OS Layer)
Now, each layer has a set of programs, tools, and sub-sets exist. To be a full stack developer, you must have expertise in more than one layer like front-end as well as a back-end to create a functional application.
Now, you need to know the technologies involved in each stack/layer so you can ask or check the profile of the company and its developers according to your software stack needs.
Front-end Development Technologies
User Interface Development Technologies
Front-end Libraries/Frameworks
Back-end Development Technologies
Web Server Technologies
API Development Technologies
Cloud Technologies
Database Development Technologies in Demand
SQL and NoSQL Database Management Technologies.
Apart from web development technologies, modern developers should accustom to mobile application and other emerging technologies. AI, IoT, LBS, and Wearable technologies are highly demanding.
You should know some basics of it and ask your selected company or team of developers to show their full stack development portfolio in which they have used those technologies with the same team of full stack developers. You can check the quality of their full stack software projects in their case study section.
At present, I know a USA-based full stack development team working under a title, Perception System at San Jose, which has a vast pool of senior developers. Most of them are working for 17+ years and have gained enough commands over trendy as well as emerging technologies and tools.
Moreover, they have a lab in India to offer development experiences both of the worlds, onshore full stack development, and offshore full stack development.
