Technical requirements

The prerequisite software for this chapter includes Docker, Docker Compose (see https://docs.docker.com/compose/install/), Git, and a web browser, such as Google Chrome or Safari.

The Docker and Docker Compose documentation use the term service, whereas we use the term microservice. For the purposes of this chapter, the terms are interchangeable.

In the GitHub repository (https://github.com/PacktPublishing/Docker-for-Developers), there is a chapter4/ directory that accompanies this chapter. It contains a modified version of the microservices architecture code used in the previous chapter.

Check out the following video to see the Code in Action:
