Why Docker Compose?
Applications are composed of many different parts, such as APIs, databases, frontends, and services your application depends on. Even within the application, we have a concept of a microservice application, where an application is broken down into multiple microapplications or microservices, and when we are creating containerized applications, all of these different application components must be deployed and run together because they have dependencies on each other.
This is where we need Docker Compose when we have a set of containers that are running different services and applications within them that need to run together and talk to each other. Docker Compose is a tool that allows us to define and run multiple services and applications that belong together in one environment. To put it simply, if you want to deploy multiple Docker containers where each container may have different configuration options, you can use Docker Compose to manage these containers in an easy and scalable manner.
Docker Compose – How To Execute Multiple Commands?
Docker Compose is an orchestration tool that comes with Docker and enables users to run and manage multi-container applications using a YAML format file. Docker Compose comes pre-installed with Docker and does not require any additional installation or activation. In this article, we will explore what Docker Compose is. and how we can execute multiple commands using Docker Compose.
