FIG 02 · Quick answer

What are full-stack development services?

Full-stack development services cover every layer of a web or mobile product: interface, APIs, database, authentication, cloud hosting and deployment. Elgrith gives you one accountable team for all of it, on stacks such as React or Next.js with Node.js, Python, .NET or Java, plus AI features, accessibility and security built in.

FIG 03 · Why it matters

Full-stack is the most common developer role. Hiring one is still hard.

From the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey and the US Bureau of Labor Statistics (pages last modified 27 Aug 2026), read on 23 Oct 2026.

FIG 04 · Definition

What full-stack development covers in 2026

“Full stack” used to mean a front end and a back end. In 2026 one team should own eight layers, from the screen your users tap to the alert that fires when something breaks.

The eight layers one full-stack team owns
LayerWhat we ownTypical toolsWhat you get
1. UIWeb and mobile screens, design system, accessibilityReact, Next.js, Angular, Vue, TypeScriptFast, WCAG 2.2 AA screens
2. APIREST or GraphQL endpoints, validation, versioningNode.js, Python (Django, FastAPI), .NET, Java (Spring Boot), LaravelDocumented, typed APIs
3. DataSchema, migrations, queries, caching, backupsPostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, RedisA data model that scales with you
4. AuthSign-in, roles, permissions, secretsOAuth 2.0 / OIDC, SSO, managed identity providersLeast-privilege access by default
5. CI/CDTests, builds and deploys on every changeGitHub Actions, GitLab CI, DockerSmall, safe releases with a rollback
6. CloudHosting, networking, scaling, costAWS, Azure, Google Cloud, Vercel, Kubernetes when it paysInfrastructure as code in your account
7. ObservabilityLogs, metrics, traces, uptime, alertsOpenTelemetry, Sentry, cloud monitoringProblems found before users report them
8. AI featuresLLM features, RAG search, agents, evalsLLM APIs, vector search, MCPAI that is measured, not bolted on

Not every product needs all eight on day one. We agree which layers are in scope, and which tools, in your written quote.

FIG 05 · What you get

Full-stack web development services

Full-stack web apps, portals and SaaS products, designed, built and run by one team, from the first database migration to the support after launch.

Three paper layers sketched as a website wireframe, connected services and databases: a full stack
Full-Stack Development · built in-house

01

Custom web apps

Booking systems, dashboards, marketplaces and internal tools, with the front end, API and database built together so they fit.

02

SaaS products

Multi-tenant SaaS with billing, teams, roles and audit logs, built for the second thousand customers, not just the first ten.

03

Customer and partner portals

Secure portals where customers, suppliers or partners sign in, see their data and get work done without emailing you.

04

MVPs that can grow

A focused first release on a stack you will not have to throw away, with tests and CI from the first sprint.

05

APIs and integrations

Typed REST or GraphQL APIs, plus payments, CRM, ERP and messaging integrations with webhooks that retry safely.

06

Back ends for mobile apps

One API for your web app and your iOS and Android apps, with push notifications, offline sync and versioned endpoints.

07

Modernising legacy apps

Old monoliths and end-of-life frameworks moved forward one area at a time, so the business keeps running during the change.

08

AI features

Search over your own content, assistants, summaries and agents, wired into your existing data and permissions.

FIG 09 · Built in

What every build includes

The parts that agencies leave for “phase two” are in phase one. They are cheaper to build in than to bolt on, and they are written into your scope.

06principles

  • WCAG 2.2 AA

    Screens designed and tested against WCAG 2.2 level AA, the current W3C Recommendation: keyboard, contrast, labels and focus.

  • OWASP-aligned security

    Security requirements drawn from OWASP ASVS 5.0 (published 30 May 2025): auth, access control, input handling and secrets.

  • CI/CD from sprint one

    Tests, linting and builds on every pull request, with deploys to staging and production from the pipeline.

  • Monitoring and alerts

    Error tracking, logs, uptime checks and alerts to your team and ours, set up before launch.

  • Dependency audits

    Known-vulnerability checks on every build, with flagged packages fixed or replaced.

  • Cloud and DevOps

    Infrastructure as code in your own cloud account.

    DevOps consulting

FIG 10 · AI

AI features inside your product

AI is now a layer of the stack, not a separate project. We add it where it saves your users time, measure it and keep your data under your rules.

06principles

  • Search over your content

    Retrieval-augmented (RAG) search that answers from your documents and records, cites its sources and respects who can see what.

  • Assistants in your app

    In-product assistants that draft, summarise and explain, using the same permissions as the user.

  • Agents that act

    Agents that call your APIs to finish multi-step tasks, with approval steps for anything irreversible.

  • Evals and cost limits

    Test sets built from real tasks, tracing on every call and spend limits, so quality and cost are measured.

  • Generative AI products

    Whole products built around generative AI.

    Generative AI development
  • LLM integration

    LLM APIs and RAG added to an existing system.

FIG 11 · Process · 6 steps

One team, one plan, every layer

A fixed written quote after a free call, sprints with weekly demos across front end and back end, and one team that answers for the whole product. You own the code and IP.

  1. Step 01

    Free call

    Tell us what you are building or what is breaking. We ask about users, data, integrations and deadlines, not just the framework.

  2. Step 02

    Code or idea review

    For a new product: users, data model, integrations and which of the eight layers are in scope. For an existing app: versions, test coverage, hosting and the risky parts of the code.

  3. Step 03

    Fixed written quote

    A written scope, a fixed quote and the plan for versions, hosting and hand-over, before any work starts.

  4. Step 04

    Sprints with weekly demos

    Sprints in your repository, with pull requests you can read, tests in CI and a demo of working front end and back end on staging every week.

  5. Step 05

    Launch

    A planned release from the pipeline, with monitoring live, a rollback ready and runbooks handed over.

  6. Step 06

    Support and upgrades

    Security releases applied in a patch window agreed in your written scope, plus planned upgrades before your versions lose support.

    Fixed-scope project

    A written scope, one fixed price and a dated plan. Suits websites, apps and MVPs.

FIG 16 · Team shape

One full-stack team vs separate front-end and back-end teams

Both models work. The question is who owns a bug that crosses the line between front end and back end.
