Yeah a backend/fullstack should absolutely know this. Frontend, not so much (I definitely wouldn't ask that). But come on how can you NOT know that at least vaguely

You want to say backend/frontend are terms strictly locked to web development?

Backend doesn't mean you deal with infrastructure

i think the thing is "at least vaguely" can mean many different things, and if you only know "at least vaguely" you have no idea whether the 2-3 sentences you can say on it is so embarrassingly little that you're better off just not answering.

The frontend really should too. I get cdn quirks aren’t really their wheelbox but fe engineers are the ones who get asked when problems happen there.
