Develop custom development environments
By the end of this project, you will create two independent and replicable local development environments for two servers and make them communicate with each other, avoiding terminal hell, issues with dependencies, and automating the process of setting up a fresh setup of your projects. Note: This course works best for learners who are based in the North America region. We’re currently working on providing the same experience in other regions.
Skills you will develop
- Microservices Architecture
- Integrated Development Environments
- Docker (Software)

TOP REVIEWS FROM BUILD LOCAL DEVELOPMENT ENVIRONMENTS USING DOCKER CONTAINERS
Muy bueno! corto y al grano para un primer contacto con Docker, con una forma muy interesante. Tenes un video y una maquina virtual al lado, donde podes ir probando lo que te explican en el video.
quite intense and good practise approach, if add git repo setup, and local system setup "npm init, install express"\n\npart to explain shared volume idea for dev env will be better.
A clear and simple explanation of how to use Docker containers for developments. It also explains why we should do so.
A simple and well-organized project. You could complete it in cloud env or on your laptop.
