Look inside
In this liveProject, you’ll use Docker to containerize a Spring Boot application and a PostgreSQL database. Containers make your application much easier to scale, and are a key step towards cloud deployment. You’ll use Docker Compose to see how your containerized applications and services interact, and build Dockerfile-based containers with kaniko.
This project is designed for learning purposes and is not a complete, production-ready application or solution.

book resources

When you start your liveProject, you get full access to the following books for 90 days.
