A Developer's Essential Guide to Docker Compose

Start defining your infrastructure using Docker Compose and leverage it for everyday development or deployment. Key Features * Distribute your code in an easier way for developers to get started * Set up complex infrastructure for development and CI/CD purposes * Deploy simple multi-container applications using Docker Compose Book Description Software development is becoming complex due to the various software components used. Applications need to be packaged with software components to facilitate their operations making it complicated to run them. With Docker Compose a single command can set up your application and the needed dependencies. The book will start with an overview of Docker Compose and its usage and move to creating an application. You will also get to grips with the fundamentals of Docker Volumes and Network along with compose commands their purpose and the use cases. Further on you will set up databases for daily usage using compose and leveraging Docker networking you will establish communication between microservices. You will also run entire stacks locally on compose and simulate production environments and enhance CI/CD jobs using docker compose. We will then focus on benefiting from Docker Compose on production deployments provisioning infrastructure on public clouds such as AWS and Azure and wrap up with Compose deployments on the said infrastructure. By the end of this book the readers will know how to effectively utilize Docker Compose for day-to-day development. What you will learn * Understand how Docker Compose works * Create multi container applications using Docker Compose * Use Docker Compose for daily development * Connect Microservices leveraging Docker Network fundamentals * Add monitoring to the services leveraging Prometheus * Translate Compose files to Kubernetes deployments Who This Book Is For This book is for Software Engineers Developer Advocates and DevOps Engineers looking to set up multi-container Docker applications using Compose without the need to set up a Docker orchestration engine and the expertise required. It is also for Team Leads looking to increase the productivity of an organizations software teams by streamlining the provisioning of complex development environments locally using Docker Compose. Readers are expected to understand containerization and must possess fundamental docker knowledge.
