Solution stack

Another version of a software stack is operating system, middleware, database, and applications.

Typically, the name is an acronym representing the individual components.

[3] The term "solution stack" has, historically, occasionally included hardware components as part of a final product, mixing both the hardware and software in layers of support.

[4][5] A full-stack developer is expected to be able to work in all the layers of the application (front-end and back-end).

[6] This means they can lead platform builds that involve databases, user-facing websites, and working with clients during the planning phase of projects.
