Building Multi-Container Applications with Docker Compose

3 tutorials
intermediate

In a previous campaign, we learned about Docker! As the next installment of our Docker fundamentals series, we’re diving into Docker Compose!

Docker Compose is a powerful tool within the Docker ecosystem, designed to define and manage multi-container Docker applications. Instead of using individual commands to set up each Docker container, users can script the entire stack in a single file. This file outlines the services, networks, and volumes, enabling developers to seamlessly orchestrate various containerized applications and dependencies!

In this module, we will kick off with a Docker refresher where we will containerize a simple to-do application. Next, we will build a multi-container application that tracks site visits using Flask and Redis. To cap things off, we will build a multi-container CRUD application, harnessing the synergy of Node.js and MongoDB!

This campaign is best attempted with prior knowledge of Docker!
