      2. MongoDB

  3. Full-Stack Developers - A full-stack developer has skills and expertise in both front-end and back-end development. This means they are able to work on all aspects of a web application, from the user interface to the server-side infrastructure. They have a deep understanding of the entire development process and can take a project from start to finish, handling all the technical aspects along the way.

    Skills Required to become Full Stack Developer:
