Full Stack Developer Interview Questions for

Freshers
1. To develop a project from scratch, what technologies
and languages would you need or what skills a full stack
developer should have?
A full-stack developer must be familiar with the following:
 Programming Languages: Full-stack developers should be competent
in more than one programming language, such as Java, Python, PHP,
Ruby, C++, etc.
 Front End technologies: You should be familiar with front-end
technologies such as HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, etc. Knowledge of
third-party libraries such as jQuery, Ajax, Angular, ReactJS,
etc., is also important.
 Frameworks: This requires proficiency in a variety of development
frameworks, including Spring, Spring Boot, Django, MyBatis, PHP,
Hibernate, and others.
 Databases and caches: As a full stack developer, you should also
know about various DBMS (Database Management Systems) technologies
like MySQL, SQLite, Oracle, and MongoDB. It is helpful to have a
basic understanding of caching mechanisms like redis, memcached,
varnish.
 Design Ability: Having a good understanding of design is also
important if you wish to become a successful Full-Stack web
developer. Moreover, the person should be aware of the principles
of prototyping and UX/UI design.
 Server: Experience with Apache or NGINX would be beneficial. Good
knowledge of Linux helps enormously when administering servers.
2. Which language is the most preferred by full-stack
developers?
Full Stack Developers utilize several programming languages.
Ideally, a candidate should be fluent in several languages,
preferably some for designing the front end and others for fixing
the back end. Since Full Stack developers work with a variety of
technologies and applications, they must be proficient in at least
two to three of the most popular languages such as Java, Python,
Ruby, PHP, C++, etc.
3. Explain Pair Programming.
In pair programming, two programmers share only one machine and
work together. During the development process, one programmer will
be the driver who codes and another will act as the observer
(navigator) who will make sure the code is written correctly,
proofread and spell-check it, while also deciding where to go
next. Roles can be swapped at any time: the driver becomes the
observer and vice versa. You can also call it "pairing", "paired
programming", or "programming in pairs".
Advantages:
 Two of them will fix the problem if the driver encounters any
issues with the code.
 The two programmers working on the same program are only 15%
slower than if they worked independently instead of 50%.
 As a result of having another programmer look over your work, you
are more likely to write better code. One study showed that it
results in 15% fewer bugs than code written by a single
programmer.
 It leads to improved collaboration, higher quality, better code,
and sustained improved development practices.
 During the project, each person teaches the other, resulting in
more efficient and expedited knowledge exchange.
 The team develops better communication skills.

4. What do you mean by CORS (Cross-Origin Resource


Sharing)?
CORS refers to cross-origin resource sharing. It's a browser
mechanism that allows web pages in one domain to have controlled
access to resources in other domains (cross-domain requests). This
allows scripts that are run on a browser client to interact with
and access resources from other origins. In doing so, it extends
and provides greater flexibility to the SOP (Same-Origin Policy).
Same-origin policies restrict the ability of a website to access
resources outside of its source domain. For example, a JavaScript
app that wants to make a call to an API (Application Programming
Interface) that runs on another domain will be blocked due to the
SOP. A CORS policy was implemented to circumvent restrictions
caused by same-origin policies.
In addition, if a website's CORS policy is not configured
properly, it may be vulnerable to cross-domain attacks. This means
that it cannot stop cross-origin attacks like  CSRF (Cross-Site
Request Forgery).
5. What is Callback Hell?
Callback Hell, or Pyramid of Doom, is a common anti-pattern seen
in asynchronous programming code (multiple functions running at
the same time). This slang term describes a large number of nested
"if" statements or functions. In simple terms, Callback hell is a
situation where you have multiple asynchronous functions. Those
functions depend on one another, so it could get quite messy with
so many callback functions nested in so many layers. The use of
callback functions leaves you with code that is difficult to read
and maintain, and looks like a pyramid as shown below:
This also makes it more difficult to identify the flow of the
application, which is the main obstacle to debugging, which is the
reason for the famous name of this problem: Callback Hell.
6. Explain Long Polling.
Long polling is defined as a web application development technique
used to push information/data from servers to clients as quickly
as possible. When a request is made from the client to the server,
long-polling maintains the connection between the two. This
connection is maintained until the information is ready to be sent
from the server to the client.  Once a server receives a request
from a client, the connection does not close immediately; the
connection is only closed once the server has sent the data back
to the client or when a timeout threshold has been reached
(connection timeout).
7. Can you tell me what are the latest trends in Full
Stack Development? Also, how do you keep yourself updated
about the new trends in the industry?
Each business needs emerging technology to thrive, whether it is
mobile or web application development. This is why they hire
front-end developers, back-end developers, or full-stack
developers depending on their technology needs. According to
industry experts, candidates who are passionate about full-stack
development should be aware of these trends:
 The rise in frameworks and libraries like ReacJs and VueJs,
progressive apps,  real-time web apps, and mobile web development.
 Enhancements to JavaScript are beneficial to programming
 The emergence of a more compatible extension.
The interviewer may ask you how you keep updated with new trends
in the industry. You can explain how you gain your knowledge and
understanding by learning from friends, colleagues, or online.
That's an appropriate way of answering the question. This is a
good time to show off any personal projects you have undertaken
that apply your skills. Also, you might mention the webinars or
forums that you attend regularly.
8. State difference between GraphQL and REST
(Representational State Transfer).
For decades, REST (Representational State Transfer) has been a
popular architectural way to design APIs (Application Programming
Interfaces), but the popularity of GraphQL over the past few years
threatens to topple REST. In general, REST and GraphQL both aim to
transfer data over internet protocols including HTTP. How they do
so differs greatly, however.
GraphQL REST

9. What is CI (Continuous Integration)?


CI (Continuous Integration), as its name implies, is the process
of automating and integrating code changes into a single software
project, often several times a day. The purpose of this DevOps
practice is to enable developers to merge their code changes into
a central repository where automated tests and builds can run.
Automated tools are used to assert the new code’s correctness
before integration. A source code version control system is the
crux of the CI process. The version control system is also
supplemented with other checks like automated code quality tests,
syntax style review tools, and more.
Advantages:
 Integrating regularly has the main benefit of detecting errors
quickly and more easily. Since most changes introduced are small,
pinpointing the specific change that caused a defect is easy.
 As a result of the smaller code changes and easier fault
isolations, CI reduces MTTR (Mean Time to Resolution).
 When CI is incorporated into your organization's development
process, you are less likely to have noncritical defects on your
backlog. Before production, these small defects are detected and
fixed before they are released to the public.
10. Explain the meaning of multithreading.
The thread is an independent part or unit of a process (or an
application) that is being executed. Whenever multiple threads
execute in a process at the same time, we call this
"multithreading". You can think of it as a way for an application
to multitask.
Advantages:
 By multithreading, computing resources are also minimized and used
more effectively.
 The response time of the application is improved since requests
from one thread do not block requests from other threads.
 Consequently, if one of the threads encounters an exception, it
will not affect the other threads.
 Multithreading, on the other hand, uses fewer resources than
running multiple processes simultaneously.
 The overhead, time usage, and management associated with creating
processes are much higher when compared to creating and managing
threads.
11. Explain the benefits and drawbacks of using "use
strict".
In ECMAScript5, a new feature known as strict mode allows you to
run a program or function within a strict operating context.
Certain actions, therefore, cannot be taken due to this strict
context, and more exceptions are thrown. When the "use strict"
statement is used, the browser is instructed to use "strict" mode,
which is a more restricted and safer JavaScript feature set. You
can specify "use strict" at the top of a function to evaluate the
JS in strict mode. In strict mode, more errors are thrown and some
features are disabled to make your code more robust, clear, and
accurate.
Advantages:
 Errors are thrown when some common coding mistakes are detected.
 By having strict mode, mistakes that make JavaScript engines tough
to optimize can be fixed. Sometimes, strict mode code runs faster
than similar, non-strict mode code.
 Generally, it prevents or throws an error when an "unsafe" action
is taken (for example, accessing the global object).
 It disables poorly thought-out or confusing features.
 Strict mode simplifies the process of writing "secure" JavaScript.
Disadvantages:
 Many of the functions that most developers use are absent.
 It is not possible to access function.caller or function.arguments
anymore.
 If you concatenate scripts written in different strict modes, you
may encounter problems.
12. What are some of the uses of Docker?
One of the thorniest problems in software development is dealing
with the different environments across different machines and
platforms. Using Docker, you can isolate your applications from
your infrastructure, which is crucial to delivering software
quickly. Developers can package and run their applications into
containers, executable components that have all the OS (Operating
System) libraries and dependencies needed to run the application
in any environment. It does not matter what is installed on the
host—containers are lightweight and include everything needed to
run applications.
 The code has to pass through many different environments as it
travels from the developer's machine to production. Consequently,
each of these environments may be slightly different. Using Docker
streamlines code development and deployment, as it provides a
consistent environment from development to production.
 Docker's primary purpose is to simplify configuration. With VM
(Virtual Machine), you can run any platform with its configuration
on top of your infrastructure. Docker offers the same
functionality without the overhead of virtual machines.
13. Explain event loop in Node.js.
The event loop in JavaScript enables asynchronous programming.
With JS, every operation takes place on a single thread, but
through smart data structures, we can create the illusion of
multi-threading. With the Event Loop, any async work is handled by
a queue and listener. Consider the diagram below:
Therefore, when an async function (or an I/O) needs to be
executed, the main thread relays it to another thread, allowing v8
(Javascript engine) to continue processing or running its code. In
the event loop, there are different phases, like pending
callbacks, closing callbacks, timers, idle or preparing, polling,
and checking, with different FIFO (First-In-First-Out) queues.
14. Is there a way to decrease the load time of a web
application?
Here are some ways to reduce load times for web applications:
 Image Optimization: The file size of an image can be dramatically
reduced by switching to a different file format. For example, GIFs
work well for images with few colors, such as logos, JPEG is ideal
for images with lots of colors and details, such as photographs,
and PNG format is ideal for transparent images with high quality.
 Keep JavaScript and CSS in external files: Embedding JavaScript
and CSS in HTML documents forces them to be downloaded every time
the HTML document is loaded. In this case, browser caching is not
utilized, and the HTML document becomes larger. This is why you
should always place CSS and JavaScript in external files; it is a
best practice and simplifies maintenance.
 Reducing redirects: Too many redirects will delay the loading time
of a website. HTTP requests and responses are delayed each time a
page redirects. Getting rid of unnecessary redirects on your site
will reduce the load time of your site significantly.
 Load CSS and JavaScript files asynchronously: Your website
contains CSS and JavaScript files that can be loaded either
synchronously or asynchronously. As part of synchronous loading,
each file is loaded sequentially, in the order it appears on your
site. As opposed to synchronous loading, asynchronous loading
allows multiple files to be loaded simultaneously, boosting the
performance of a website. 
 Minify HTML, CSS, and JavaScript: If you optimize the way your
files load, your pages will load more quickly. You can do the same
when it comes to HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code. By eliminating
unnecessary spaces, characters, and comments, you can reduce the
size of your files. This will make your web pages load faster.
15. Explain dependency injection.
The Dependency Injection (DI) pattern is a design pattern for
implementing the Inversion of Control (IoC). Dependent objects can
be created outside of classes and made available to classes in
different ways. Three types of classes are involved in Dependency
Injection as follows:
 Client Class: A client class (dependent class) is one that depends
on the service class.
 Service Class: Service (dependency) classes provide services to
client classes.
 Injector Class: This class injects the objects from the service
class into the client class.
16. What do you mean by observer pattern?
If several objects are tied together in one-to-many relationships,
the observer pattern is used. Every time one object is modified,
then all of its dependent objects are automatically notified and
updated. It falls under the behavioural pattern category. It
describes the coupling between the objects and the observer and
provides support for broadcast-type communication. The object that
observes the state of another object is known as the observer, and
the object that is being observed is known as the subject as shown
below:

17. State difference between blue/green deployment and
rolling deployment.
Today, the software is rapidly created and features are often
changed based on customer needs, and then it is deployed into
production. Each organization has its unique way of getting new
applications into the production environment. Most organizations
follow the standard deployment and release strategies such as
Blue-Green and Rolling Deployment.
 Blue-Green Deployment Strategy:
A deployment strategy like this creates two separate
infrastructure environments i.e., blue and green. A blue
environment contains older code (old version), while a green
environment (production) contains the latest code (new version).
There is only one live production environment at any given time.
Example: For instance, the green environment is live and is
receiving all user traffic, while the clone (blue) is idle. Once a
new version of an application is ready for release, it can be
deployed to the blue environment for testing. As soon as the new
release passes testing, application traffic is switched from green
to blue. Blue then becomes the live production environment, and
Green becomes idle, ready for testing the next release.
 Rolling Deployment Strategy
Using this deployment strategy, old versions of an application are
completely replaced with the new versions by completely replacing
the infrastructure on which they run.
Example: When a new version must be deployed to all nodes, the new
version is deployed to the first node while all other nodes handle
end-user traffic. As soon as the new version is successfully
installed on the first node, it will begin managing end-user
traffic while the new version is being installed on the second
node. The process is repeated until all nodes have been
successfully upgraded to the new version.
18. Explain inversion of control.
IoC (Inversion of Control), as the name suggests, is a design
principle in software engineering. With IoC, different kinds of
controls can be inverted in an object-oriented design to attain
loose coupling. The term "controls" refers to any other
responsibilities a class may have other than its primary
responsibility. These include controlling the flow of an
application, controlling the creation of objects, or controlling
the binding and creation of dependent objects. IoC allows classes
to be loosely coupled, making testing and maintenance easier. 
19. What do you mean by referential transparency in
functional programming?
In functional programming, referential transparency is the key
differentiating factor.  An expression is considered referential
transparent if it can be replaced or substituted with the
corresponding value it computes or vice-versa without affecting
the program’s result.
Example: Imagine that we have an expression called four:  val four=

add(1,3)

If four is used anywhere in our code, it can safely be replaced


with add(1,3), 1 + 3 or 4 wherever it appears. Thus, all the
expressions below are equivalent in meaning and output:
val eight = four + four
val eight_v2 = add(1,3) + add(1,3)
val eight_v3 = 4 + add(1,3)
val eight_v4 = 8

If we can swap back-and-forth between these expressions anytime,


anywhere, without altering their meaning or output, then an
expression is referentially transparent.
20. State difference between normalization and
denormalization.
Normalization and denormalization are the two main methods of
altering the structure of a database.

space.

21. In Java, what is a connection leak? How can you fix


this?
If a connection is opened and forgotten about, this is known as a
"leak" since each time it occurs, a connection is no longer
available for reuse. Connection leaks occur when some database
requests or transactions are not closed properly or are not
committed, causing the connections to be abandoned and closed
permanently.
Java developers commonly experience Connection Leaks when using
Connection Pools. In the case where there is a section of code
that fails to close a connection properly, a connection will leak
from the pool each time the section of code is executed.
Eventually, if this situation continues, the pool will run out of
connections, which is known as Pool Exhaustion. The application
will hang once all available connections have been leaked. We can
fix this by closing the connection and paying particular attention
to any error handling code.
22. What is Promise and explain its states?
Callback functions are functions that can be passed to another
function as arguments and executed there to complete a routine or
action. Those functions depend on one another, so it could get
quite messy with so many callback functions nested in so many
layers. This is what is referred to as callback hell.
As an alternative to callbacks in JavaScript, promises are used to
handle asynchronous operations. In addition to handling multiple
asynchronous operations, they provide better error handling than
callbacks. Promises can be a better way for a user to read the
code effectively and efficiently, especially when that particular
code performs multiple asynchronous operations. The Promise object
represents the result of an asynchronous operation (or its
failure) and the resulting value. The promise is in one of the
following states:
 Pending: In its initial state, neither fulfilled nor rejected.
 Fulfilled: Indicating that the operation was successful.
 Rejected: Indicating that the operation failed.
23. State the difference between GET and POST.
GET and POST are two different HTTP request methods.
GET POST

This method is used to request data This method is used to send

24. Explain the Restful API and write its usage.


APIs (Application Programming Interfaces) are sets of rules and
protocols that define how software programs or devices can
communicate with each other. APIs that conform to the design
principles of REST, or representational state transfer, are known
as REST APIs. REST APIs may also be referred to as RESTful APIs.
Using RESTful APIs, developers can create requests and receive
responses via an HTTP request. REST API can also be used for
mapping data from a cloud platform to a data warehouse or vice
versa.
25. What do you mean by MEAN Stack?
MEAN stands for MongoDB, ExpressJS, AngularJS, and Node.js. It is
a collection of JavaScript-based technologies for developing web
applications. Despite being a stack of different technologies, all
of them are based on the JavaScript language. It is an ideal
solution for building dynamic websites and applications as it is a
very user-friendly stack. With this free and open-source stack,
you can quickly and easily build web-based prototypes.
26. Do you know how to prevent a bot from scraping your
publicly accessible API?
As long as the data within the API is accessible to the public, it
will technically not be possible to completely prevent data
scraping. It is possible, however, to minimize bot activity
(automated computer programs on the internet that perform certain
tasks) by throttling or rare limiting. Rare limiting will be able
to prevent a certain device from making an unlimited number of
requests within a defined time. If too many requests are made
beyond the defined limit, a 429 Too Many Attempts HTTP error is
thrown. It is vital to record more than just the IP address of the
device since the IP address is not unique to each device and can
stop the whole network from accessing the API.
27. What makes MVC (Model View Controller) different from
MVP (Model View Presenter)?
Developers prefer to develop Android applications by utilizing a
software architecture pattern. Architecture patterns allow you to
express and define a structural schema for software systems.
Developers can easily maintain the software and continue to add
features to the software in the future. The two most popular
android architecture patterns are MVC (Model View Controller) and
MVP (Model View Presenter).

MVC suggests splitting the code

28. What do you mean by Temporal Dead Zone in ES6?


Before ES6, variable declarations were only possible using var.
With ES6, we got let and const. Both let and const declarations
are block-scoped, i.e., they can only be accessed within the " { }
" surrounding them. On the other hand, var doesn't have such a
restriction. Unlike var, which can be accessed before its
declaration, you cannot access the let or const variables until
they are initialized with some value. Temporal Dead Zone is the
time from the beginning of the execution of a block in which let
or const variables are declared until these variables are
initialized. If anyone tries to access those variables during that
zone, Javascript will always throw a reference error as given
below.
console.log(varNumber); // undefined
console.log(letNumber); // Throws the reference error letNumber is not defined
var varNumber = 3;
let letNumber = 4;

Both let and const variables are in the TDZ from the moment their
enclosing scope starts to the moment they are declared.
29. Why should arrow functions not be used in ES6?
One of the most popular features of ES6 is the "arrow functions"
(also known as "fat arrow functions"). Arrow functions are a new
way to write concise functions. Arrow functions offer a compact
alternative to traditional function expressions, but they have
limitations and cannot be used in every case.
The following is an ES5 function:
function timesTwo(params) {
return params * 2
}
timesTwo(5); // 10

The same function can also be expressed as an arrow function in


ES6 as follows:
var timesTwo = params => params * 2
timesTwo(5); // 10

Differences & Limitations:


 Has no bindings to 'this' or 'super', so it shouldn't be used as a
method.
 Has no new.target keyword.
 The call, apply, and bind methods are not suitable since they rely
on establishing scope.
 Not suitable for use as constructors.
 Not possible for an arrow function to use the yield keyword within
its body, etc.
30. What is event bubbling and capturing in JavaScript?
The propagation of events inside the DOM (Document Object Model)
is known as 'Event Flow' in JavaScript. The event flow defines the
order or sequence in which a particular web page receives an
event. Accordingly, event flow (propagation) in JS is dependent on
the following aspects:
 Event Bubbling: With Event Bubbling, the event is captured and
handled first by the innermost element, and then propagates to the
outermost element. Events propagate up the DOM tree from child
elements until the topmost element is handled.
 Event Capturing: With Event Capturing, the event is captured and
handled first by the outermost element, and then propagates to the
innermost element. Event cycles propagate starting with the
wrapper elements and ending with the target elements that
initiated the event cycle.
The following diagram will help you to understand the event
propagation life cycle.
31. Tell me about a project that you worked on and the
technologies you used. Why did you choose them?
With this question, the interviewer can figure out the methodology
of the full stack web developer and determine if he is sharp and
precise in selecting the right toolset.
While explaining the reasons for choosing a particular toolset,
you should be as specific as possible. You must demonstrate that
you can develop both the front and backend of the web application.
Having more experience on one side of the development game than
the other is okay, but you should show you are capable of handling
both ends of the application.
32. In the past, what was the best implementation or
debugging you did?
By asking this question, the hiring manager will get an idea of
the type and complexity of past projects you have completed. You
should clearly state the problems you encountered and the steps
you took to overcome them. In addition, you can talk about the
lessons you learned from the issue.
Conclusion
A potential employer doesn't expect applicants to know everything,
whether they're freshers or experienced. However, a well-prepared
and enthusiastic candidate will undoubtedly stand out. In a full
stack developer interview, candidates should be able to
demonstrate excellent organizational skills and precision in their
work. Also, honesty and transparency pay dividends over the long
run.
In this article, we have covered the top 30+ Full-Stack developer
interview questions & answers for freshers and experienced
