About this course

WHY I WROTE THIS COURSE

This course is your field manual for building Rails applications with Docker. To kick things off, you’ll start by learning the basics of Docker like architecture, images, and containers. You will then be introduced to Docker Compose and use it to build up to a multiservice application with Redis. You will then work to get your Dockerized setup to play nice with JavaScript, using both the standard asset pipeline and webpacker, Rails’ newest approach for integrating modern JavaScript front ends. Lastly, you will learn how to prepare your Rails app for production. Once ready, using Docker’s own tools, you will provision machines, create a cluster, deploy the app, and scale the app’s resources to meet its changing needs. By the end of the course, you will be able to confidently use Docker in any of your further projects.

These are high-quality courses. Trust me the price is worth it for the content quality. Educative came at the right time in my career. I'm understanding topics better than with any book or online video tutorial I've done. Truly made for developers. Thanks

Just finished my first full #ML course: Machine learning for Software Engineers from Educative, Inc. ... Highly recommend!

You guys are the gold standard of crash-courses... Narrow enough that it doesn't need years of study or a full blown book to get the gist, but broad enough that an afternoon of Googling doesn't cut it.
