How Professionals Build Full-Stack Features (Without Chaos)

Описание: Most full-stack features don’t fail because the code is bad.
They fail because everything is built at once — without validation.

In this lesson, you’ll learn how professional teams build full-stack features using multiple, disciplined PIV loops instead of one giant leap of faith.

We build the same feature three times — on purpose:

PIV 1: Backend — endpoint, database access, and tests

PIV 2: Frontend — UI components wired to validated APIs

PIV 3: Integration — optional end-to-end validation across the stack

Each loop is planned, implemented, and validated before moving on.

This approach solves the most common full-stack pain points:

mismatched data contracts

frontend and backend drifting out of sync

debugging across dozens of files

integration failures that are impossible to trace

Instead of debugging the entire stack, you only debug the last change you made.

This lesson is part of the Foundations for Building Agentic AI Applications series and builds directly on earlier PIV concepts — now applied to real, end-to-end features.

If you want to build features that scale without chaos — and still sleep at night — this pattern is essential.

Structure creates speed. Validation creates confidence.
