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.

"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."
