Pros
Opportunities for growth and educational support.
The upside is massive skill growth and autonomy.
Cons
Requires a broad skill set across frontend (Angular/React), backend (Node.js/Java), servers, Docker, CI/CD, domains, and networking, handling everything end-to-end.
You are responsible for everything: development, debugging, deployments, monitoring, security, and support.
Without other developers to share tasks, tight deadlines can quickly lead to burnout.
