To pass phase 1, you must complete one of the following paths:
- Frontend Path (React Web App & DevOps - Azure Pipeline)
- Backend Path (Databases and API & DevOps - Azure Pipeline)
- Full Stack Development Path (React Web App & Databases and API & DevOps - Azure Pipeline)

If you choose the Full Stack Development Pathway, we strongly recommend you to complete the Full Stack Development Path, instead of the sub paths which are Frontend Path / Backend Path. Doing so will improve your understanding and make phase 2 significantly easier.
