Containerization of Django and Postgres services using docker-compose

Abstract

The article shows the process of placing applications that provide web services in Docker containers, which allows you to significantly reduce the time to set up and maintain a work environment. Docker enables real-time scaling of the application infrastructure and improves resource utilization by supporting multiple containers. It also provides building of event-driven service-oriented applications. The whole thing allows you to focus on your business goals. The following chapters examine the Docker-based technology. They describe the steps of preparing the environment for building the configuration file and starting the container from creating the Dockerfile file, docker-compose.yml, through database configuration and starting the service itself.
