Cloud computing has brought about a true revolution in how companies manage and operate their IT infrastructures. 

With high scalability and flexibility capacity, the solution also presents a series of services that allow for the rapid implementation of applications, in addition to allowing easy access to servers. In this way, all users have the baseline tools for a work routine without downtime or difficulties.

Also known as Stacks, these tools are great allies in ensuring the success of cloud projects.

Want to know more about them and discover which ones are the most used in the AWS Amazon Web Services cloud? Then, read on! 

Development Stacks: The Definition

A development stack encompasses a series of technologies, tools, and services used by developers so they can build, test, deploy, and manage applications.

All of this infrastructure follows a logical and functional organization, ensuring that each application has a purpose.

In a cloud environment like AWS, a stack can include programming languages, frameworks, databases, CI/CD tools (Continuous Integration/Continuous Delivery), among other components. Learn more in the next topics.

Development Stacks: The Importance

Currently, AWS has a vast range of technological resources, which opens up infinite possibilities to create, test, and develop, whether in the web or mobile environment.

In this context, within the AWS cloud, it is the choice of the stack that determines the type of application to be developed, the type of product that will be produced, the level of efficiency of the team in delivering a project, and the type of human labor that will be required.

In practice, a stack is divided into three main axes: front-end, back-end, and full-end.

Front-end: The Applications

The front-end is also known as "the client-side", and this is not by chance. After all, this is the concept that takes into account the entire user experience, and is therefore focused on the structure, layout, content, performance, and responsiveness of a website or application.

Furthermore, the front-end is also the programming part that ensures responsiveness and proper functioning of websites, applications, and systems on various device screens.

To develop the front-end of a project, the programmer must rely on the following languages:

HTML - Hyper Text Markup Language

Language used to create the structure and content of pages.

CSS - Cascading Style Sheets

It is a content formatting language that defines the visual look of a website. Very commonly used in conjunction with HTML.
