Okay what is a fullstack framework?
"Fullstack frameworks—a category of tools designed to streamline the process of building complete applications."
The term fullstack refers to both the frontend (user interface) and backend (server, database, and business logic) of an application. A fullstack framework provides built-in solutions for:
- 1. Frontend Rendering: Managing UI components, state, and rendering logic
- 2. Backend Logic: Handling requests, authentication, business rules
- 3. Database Interaction: Storing and retrieving data efficiently
- 4. Routing & API Handling: Managing how data flows between client and server
Like everything else in life, software development involves making choices based on a team's strengths and expertise, and every choice has pros and cons. A fullstack framework simplifies this, picking a frontend library (React, Angular, Vue), setting up a backend (Express, Rails, Django), connecting to a database (PostgreSQL, MongoDB), routing logic to bridge the frontend and backend, by providing a cohesive environment where these components naturally work together.
