Docker Compose

What is Docker Compose?

Docker Compose is a tool that simplifies the configuration and management of containerized applications. With Docker Compose, several containers that together form an application can be defined in a single YAML file. This file describes which containers are to be started, how they are connected to each other and which specific settings they require.

Advantages and areas of application

Docker Compose enables developers to launch and manage complex multi-container environments with minimal effort. It is often used in software development and testing to standardize development environments and reduce errors. It also improves scalability, as applications can be easily transferred to different environments such as local computers, test servers or cloud platforms.
