About this course
This course teaches you how to build and manage Node.js applications inside Docker containers. You will learn to Optimize your local development setup for NodeJS in Docker, Operate smoothly in a team of NodeJS developers using Docker and Compose, and Improve the speed and reliability of your Node builds and testing using Docker. The course also covers Getting the best NodeJS tweaks to use for dev, test, and prod, Designing NodeJS images for use with Kubernetes and Swarm, and Learning about security scanning and locking-down your NodeJS apps.
Bret Fisher, a Docker Captain, structures the lessons around practical Docker Compose Basics and Node Dockerfile Best Practice Basics. You will progress to Controlling The Node Process In Containers, then move into Advanced Dockerfiles with Multi-stage and BuildKit. Later modules cover Node Apps in Cloud Native Docker, Compose for Awesome Local Development, and Making Container Images Production Ready. The final sections address Running Production Node.js Containers, Running Node.js on ARM with Docker, and Extras.
By the end you can Optimize your local development setup for NodeJS in Docker, Operate smoothly in a team of NodeJS developers using Docker and Compose, and Improve the speed and reliability of your Node builds and testing using Docker. You will also be able to Design NodeJS images for use with Kubernetes and Swarm, and perform security scanning to lock down your NodeJS apps.
