Introduction: Building a Multi-Service Application

Welcome back, intrepid Docker explorer! So far, we’ve learned how to containerize individual applications and use Docker Compose to manage a few related services. But what about the truly complex, real-world applications? Almost every application needs to store data, and many benefit from fast data access through caching.

In this chapter, we’re going to level up our Docker Compose skills by integrating two crucial components into our application stack: a database for persistent data storage and a caching service for blazing-fast data retrieval. We’ll use PostgreSQL as our database and Redis as our caching layer, all orchestrated seamlessly with Docker Compose. This is where the magic of creating interconnected, robust applications truly shines!
