Containers and problems they solve
We have already discussed the containers and their advantages over traditional software development methodologies. As we know, they are an ideal choice for implementing the microservices architecture and drastically simplify the application deployment process for us. For example, if we are building a web application that has front-end and back-end components. We can create separate containers for the frontend, backend, and databases. Each of these containers can be deployed and scaled independently of each other.
When it comes to running the containers, we have a few options that we can use. One of the most ...
