Docker Compose

Docker Compose is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. It uses a YAML file to configure your application's services, networks, and volumes. With Compose, you can spin up an entire application stack with a single command, making it incredibly easy to manage complex deployments. Docker Compose simplifies the process of developing, testing, and deploying applications that rely on multiple interconnected containers. It's particularly useful for local development environments, continuous integration pipelines, and small to medium-sized production deployments where the full orchestration capabilities of tools like Kubernetes aren't needed.
