A full-stack developer is someone with the ability to work on all “layers” of software development.

The three layers of a standard web application are:

• Presentation layer 🖼️.
• Business layer 🎯.
• Database layer 🗂️.

Although full-stack developers are usually capable of working with each layer, they are not necessarily experts on anyone in particular.

Generally, the main areas a full-stack developer focuses on are divided into two:

• Front-End Development
• Back-End Development.

🎨 Front-End Development

Focused on the Presentation layer aka User-Interface/User-Experience. The basic front-end development technology includes:

• HTML
• CSS
• JavaScript

Usually, front-end developers also work with frameworks/libraries such as ReactJS and Angular to add further functionality on top of JavaScript.

🧬 Back-End Development

Concerned with server-side management, and handling the interaction between web and databases. Back-End Development focused on the Business and the Database layer.

The most popular back-end tech includes:

• NodeJS
• Python
• Rust
• PHP

The most popular DB includes:

• MongoDB
• MySQL
• PostgreSQL

and @captemulation mention in comments:

Lately it seems the full stack can also include many DevOps components such as containers, setting up automated tests, GitHub/slack/ci integrations, Kubernetes, deployments, etc...
