Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool that allows you to define and manage multiple containers as a single entity. The containers are defined in a docker-compose.yml file using a YAML format. This tool is primarily focused on the runtime aspects of your application such as service definitions, configuration, and connections. With Docker Compose, you can start, stop, and manage the entire stack of services with a single command. This makes it a very powerful tool for managing multi-container applications. It is also a good method to define a local development environment that mimics your production environment.
