To me, a PHP file in an Apache server which includes some JS counts as full stack. To me, fullstack = frontend + backend. I don't think Django counts as full-s

I don't think Django counts as full-stack, as you don't have a default front-end framework, like Rail's Stimulus.
- kbenson 4y agoHistorically, I don't think you could call something that sits on top of Apache full stack if you didn't also control Apache, so maybe, depending on whether you're just dropping on some webhost? If you get to ignore threads/forks and number of workers as well as memory management of them because it's someone (or something) else's responsibility, then that's not full stack. The stack is OS (slightly, and can often be ignored), webserver, application, and client (HTML/JS). If you hand off responsibility of any of that then it isn't "full". The term originally came from referring to people that handled all these things. You could be a back-end developer, dealing with the OS and webserver and maybe application, front-end developer where you dealt with HTML, JS and maybe some application code, or you could do both and be a "full stack" developer.
- gosukiwi 4y agoYeah I agree about setting up Apache and managing it. OS + Webserver + (Server language + JS) + DB is the full stack
