I have a favorite quote about what a Full Stack Web Developer is and does. I first came across it in a post written by Eric An on the CareerFoundry blog:
A full-stack developer has all the keys to the housethere is no door that you cannot open.
This is admittedly not a very technical explanation. But I think it goes a long way towards enunciating the appeal of being a Full Stack Web Developer.
For a more comprehensive definition, consider this one from a post entitled A Guide to Becoming a Full-Stack Developer in 2017, by Daniel Borowski. Under the heading The Definitive Guide he writes:
A Full-Stack Web Developer is someone who is able to work on both the front-end and back-end portions of an application. Front-end generally refers to the portion of an application the user will see or interact with, and the back-end is the part of the application that handles the logic, database interactions, user authentication, server configuration, etc.
If these two definitions combine to make Full Stack Web Developers sound a bit like wizards with limitless knowledge, that assessment might not be too far off the mark. On the other hand, if you had a dollar for every article out there challenging the myth of the Full Stack Web Developer, youd probably be giving Bezos a run for his money.
Ultimately, what distinguishes a successful Full Stack Web Developer is not a superhuman ability to do everything, but rather, to understand everything. More often than not, someone employed as a Full Stack Web Developer is actually going to spend a majority of their time working only on one end or the otherFront-End or Back-End. But theyll know how to manage things on the other end as well, and perhaps even more importantly, theyll be able to effectively communicate with all stakeholders in the stack.
It has often been said that a Full Stack Web Developer is a Jack or Jill of all trades. Etymologically speaking, this really isnt the right term, because it actually refers to someone who is competent in many endeavors but excels in none of them. Full Stack Web Developers in fact excel at many things, just not everything.
From another aspect, he/she can provide help to everyone in the team and greatly reduce the time and technical costs of team communication, technology docking. So many of them become entrepreneurs or as technical partners in start-up companies.
Disadvantages: It is precisely because of the horizontal technology development, some the full stack developers cannot be expert in one skill. Most of them who claim to be full stacks developer are only know a little about the multiple skills. As for how to make the architecture more suitable for the modular development, thats a question.

Any product or project needs a database to store data. As a full stack developer, you also need to have at least one or two databases and know how to interact with the database. Currently, the popular database is MySQL, MongoDB, Redis, Oracle, SQLServer and so on. As a document-type database, MongoDB, is being used more widely in Internet products. As for larger projects, Ialso recommend using MySQL or commercial Oracle as the back-end database. While memory databases, such as Redis, can be used for caching to improve system performance.
