📝 Description:
This repository showcases a practical collection of Docker projects, highlighting containerization strategies, orchestration techniques, and efficient deployment workflows. These examples are designed to help learners and engineers understand how to build, manage, and deploy containerized applications in real-world scenarios.
The projects cover building and pushing Docker images, using Docker Compose for multi-service architecture, and managing key concerns like networking, volumes, health checks, profiles, and startup order. Many examples are built using Node.js stacks, making it ideal for developers focused on backend services and microservice patterns.

🧱 Docker Compose Setups
Multi-container setups that include configuration for:
Networks
Named Volumes
Health Checks
Profiles
Startup Order (depends_on, wait-for-it patterns)
📦 Image Lifecycle
Building custom images with docker build, tagging them, and pushing to Docker Hub or other registries. Real-world scripts and examples included.
🚀 Deployment Strategies
Deploying containerized stacks using Docker Compose, with examples of local dev environments and production-ready setups.
