Docker for Developers: Mastering Containerization

Description

In today’s fast-paced development environment, understanding Docker has become essential for developers looking to streamline their workflows and improve application scalability. “Docker for Developers” is a comprehensive course designed to empower developers with the skills needed to effectively use Docker for building, deploying, and managing containerized applications, using real-world full-stack examples.

This course leverages a practical full-stack application that includes:

• An invoice app built using a Spring Boot service.
• A user interface built with React that interacts with the Spring Boot backend.
• A PostgreSQL database to manage data storage.

You’ll learn how to:

• Set up Docker and Docker Compose to containerize and orchestrate the full-stack application.
• Build, manage, and deploy a Spring Boot backend, React frontend, and PostgreSQL database in containers.
• Work with Docker networks, including bridge, host, and overlay networks, to enable communication between the backend, frontend, and database.
• Manage Docker volumes to persist PostgreSQL data across container restarts.
• Push and pull custom Docker images to Docker Hub for collaborative development.
• Leverage Docker Swarm to orchestrate and scale your full-stack application in a distributed environment.

Through practical, hands-on exercises, you’ll gain the confidence to use Docker for developing and deploying full-stack applications, ensuring faster releases and seamless teamwork across your projects.
