Cloud Backends for Frontend Developers
In the world of software development, the ability to wear different hats is a valuable skill. This is especially true when developing full-stack applications.Â
So, what is required when building a full-stack application? Firstly, one needs to design and build the application (frontend and backend) itself. Then one has to create and configure the backend infrastructure, and finally, host the application and connect the frontend and backend so users can access it.
In larger companies, this process is completed by multiple teams — often entire teams — with specialist skills in coding applications, configuring the backend cloud infrastructure, and connecting all the pieces before transferring them to a production environment. But what if you are in a small company and the only developer? Or are you working on a weekend project and don’t have access to the resources of a large company?Â
