🚀 Think you know what “Full Stack” really means? Think again. Most people picture a developer who can handle Frontend + Backend. But in reality, the True Full Stack includes so much more: Database, Server, Networking, Cloud Infrastructure, CI/CD, Security, Monitoring, Containers, CDN, Backup… and that’s just scratching the surface. Being “Full Stack” today isn’t just writing code — it’s understanding the entire ecosystem that powers modern apps. 🌐⚡ 🔹 The left side of my infographic = what we think Full Stack is. 🔹 The right side = what it actually is in 2025. Are you ready to master the actual full stack? 👇 Drop a comment with the layer you find most underrated or overlooked! #FullStack #DevOps #Cloud #Engineering #TechTrends

While I agree on the first part, I disagree. Fullstack is about front, back, databases and devops: thats the fullstack of web development. Security can be from any of those, CI/CD and CND or anything about repositores or cloud are Devops, Monitoring or others is mainly back-devops thing, etc... And most of time database is taken into backend umbrella. I agree full stack is not only front and back, without databases or devops knowledge in this day an age you cannot say you are full stack (in my opinion).

that is true 🤣

We’re forgetting to add mobile development and all the things it comes with. Obviously being a scrum master while we’re at it. Hey why stop there, why not include social media marketing…
