✅ For an MVP, hire a full-stack developer. Here’s why:
- Speed matters.
One person working across frontend and backend can build, iterate, and pivot faster than coordinating two or more specialists. - Cost-effective.
Hiring one skilled full-stack dev saves you the cost (and communication overhead) of managing multiple hires. - Simpler collaboration.
With one person handling the full flow, from database to user interface — decisions are more cohesive and aligned. - Ideal for early-stage MVPs.
MVPs don’t need complex architecture. A good full stack dev can get you to market faster without over engineering.
- You’re scaling past MVP
- The UI/UX is highly complex
- You need deep backend architecture or integrations
