A "full
stack" in the technology world is the entire set of software products and
technologies used to accomplish a particular platform for applications. This
includes elements like the operating system, database software, and more.
The
full stack provides an easy terminology for the entire set of tools that
created architecture for a pipeline in enterprise IT.
Some
define the "full stack" primarily as front-end, database and back-end
systems, along with any ‘middleware’ or auxiliary components that may apply.
Others
explicitly include the operating system, vendor storage components and more in
an itemized full stack. One term frequently applied to the idea of a full stack
is the full stack developer — a professional who has an understanding of all of
the layers and technologies that make up the entire full stack.
Full
stack is also an important term in the context of cloud and software as a
service. The rise of these technologies to support applications has led to the
evolution of microservices, where full technology stacks become much more
complex and diverse.
With
that in mind, data scientists who can bill themselves as full stack developers
can often write their own tickets, and are increasingly in demand in the
enterprise world.
