About:
Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It uses a YAML file to configure the application's services, networks, and volumes, enabling complex environments to be launched with a single command. This simplifies local development, testing, and continuous integration workflows.
Key Features:
  • Declarative configuration via YAML files
  • Single-command startup and shutdown of multi-container stacks
  • Isolated environment management for development
  • Built-in service scaling capabilities
Use Cases:
  • Local development environment setup for microservices
  • Running integration tests in CI/CD pipelines
  • Orchestrating dependent services like databases and caches
Alternatives:
  • Kubernetes – More complex, production-grade orchestration system for containerized applications
  • Podman Compose – Drop-in replacement using daemonless Podman containers
