This course is designed for Java and Spring Boot developers who already understand the basics of microservices and now want to learn how to containerize a complete real-world project step by step. You will begin with Docker fundamentals so you understand the core concepts before working with the microservices project. You will learn how Docker images and containers work, how Dockerfiles are used, and how applications are packaged and run inside containers. Next, you will learn how to Dockerize a Spring Boot application step by step. This section helps you understand the complete process before moving to a larger microservices architecture.
After that, you will set up the Spring Boot 4 Microservices project that will be used throughout the course. You will understand the project structure and prepare the services for Dockerization. The main part of the course focuses on Dockerizing the complete Spring Boot Microservices project. You will work through the services one by one, create Dockerfiles, build Docker images, run containers, configure service communication, and connect the complete system. You will also learn how to work with the supporting infrastructure required by the project, including MySQL databases and other microservices components.
Finally, you will use Docker Compose to run the complete Microservices system together. Instead of starting each service manually, you will define and run the complete containerized architecture using a single Docker Compose setup.
