Home > Should You Hire a Fullstack Developer or a DevOps

It was not a long time ago when developers were required to know everything about custom software development. They were often well versed in multiple programming languages and concepts since that is what the majority of the market demanded. App deployment and management were and up to some extent even at present are mostly an in-house activity, with software outsourcing being a rare scenario.

Fullstack Development

This is no longer the case today. Full stack developers have to deal with more comprehensive projects now. Software delivery and deployment have gone out of the purview of their skills due to the ever-increasing complexity of the process.

Hence, this scenario poses the question of opting for multiple team members who excel in different areas of programming in contrast with depending on a full stack developer.

If you’re facing the same dilemma, focus on answering the following questions to reach the right conclusion. Let’s take a look on complete guide to devOps:

1. How Complex is Your Software Stack?

Although it pays to hire an expert for every step of your software development, if your development team still makes use of legacy frameworks then it makes no sense to go for DevOps Engineers unless Cloud Migration is your future strategy.

On the contrary, if your stack development process is way too complex to be handled, using DevOps tools is the way forward.

2. What is your Target Agility?

Agility is defined as the ability of the development process to be able to change on demand. In other words, it is the ability of the software to swap out one component of the software stack for another whenever needed.

Hence, you need to come to a conclusion regarding the required agility. If agility is a priority, then going forward with Devops Services is your best bet. On the other hand, if you feel that every stack entry in the software's blueprint is exactly how you want it to be, and will remain so in the future, then a full stack developer with knowledge about multiple languages can also do the job.

3. What is Your Development Budget?

This one is simple enough. If your budget allows you to hire multiple developers at the same time, then it makes sense to go for a devOps team that can handle any sort of requirement you throw their way.

Alternatively, if your budget is on the lower end, especially if you’re running a Startup or an SME, hiring a talented full stack developer is a better choice since comparatively, it proves to be very budget friendly.

4. What Degree of Scalability do you Need?

Scalability turns out to the biggest problem of businesses once odds are defied, and widespread acceptance of technology follows. This is often the case with digital platforms, such as online marketplaces or social media, where a large number of signups and interactions take place.

Thus, if scalability is a priority for you, DevOps is the solution.

On the other hand, a full stack developer can do the job equally well if the development involves a one-time effort with no real management or scalability targets in the near future.

Conclusion

By now you might be clear about the type of hiring to go ahead with. To sum it up, a full stack developer works well with bundled requirements and a DevOps fares better during specific requirements, especially when agility is needed. It all depends on your company’s aims and goals that need to be met. As long as both of these are under check, there is nothing wrong with either of the Development processes.
