🧵Our unique full-stack approach to AI lets us deliver powerful, cost-efficient products to developers and everyday users. But what exactly does it mean when a technology system is "full-stack,” and why is it so important to our approach? We talked to @rseroter, senior director and chief evangelist at @googlecloud, to break it all down 👇 Where does the phrase “full-stack” come from, and what does it mean when we’re talking about tech? @rseroter: The term "full-stack" originally came out in software development a decade or so ago — usually in regard to applications. Historically, building an app required multiple specialized teams: a front-end developer to build beautiful user interfaces, a back-end developer to handle server-side logic and a dedicated database team. The concept of a "full-stack engineer" emerged to describe a developer who could work across all of these functions independently. Instead of constantly handing off components from one person to another, a full-stack engineer could take an idea from a rough concept all the way to a fully running piece of software.
