Deploy a full-stack application with a database and backend service using Docker Compose.
Deploy Multi-Service Apps
Welcome! In this lesson, we'll learn how to bring a full-stack application online using Docker Compose.
You'll see how to define multiple services like a web app and a database, then deploy and manage them together.

Our Example: Web & DB
We'll deploy a simple web application that connects to a database. This is a common setup for many real-world applications.
- Web Service: A Python Flask application that serves a basic webpage.
- Database Service: A PostgreSQL database to store data.
Docker Compose makes orchestrating these two services easy!
