Docker — Utilize Docker Compose for Local Development Environments

Docker Compose is an excellent tool for defining and managing multi-container applications, and it’s particularly valuable for setting up local development environments that closely mirror production configurations. By using Docker Compose, you can simplify, providing all the services and dependencies required for your development environment. Here are some benefits of using Docker Compose for local development: <ol> <li>Consistency: Docker Compose ensures that all team members use the same development environment, reducing “it works on my machine” issues.</li> <li>Isolation: Each service runs in its own container, isolating dependencies and avoiding conflicts between different components.</li> <li>Easy Configuration: You can define your entire development environment, including services, volumes, and networks, in a single <code>docker-compose.yml</code> file.</li> </ol> <a href="https://medium.com/@KeyurRamoliya/docker-utilize-docker-compose-for-local-development-environments-0210ca1d9ea3">Learn More</a>
