Overview

Compose runs your app together with its database and cache, with one file describing the whole local environment.

In this lesson you will:

  • Define multi-service stacks in one file
  • Wire up networks, volumes, and environment variables
  • Keep local configuration close to production

Pro Tip

Use caching and revalidation wisely to ensure your app stays fast and data remains fresh without unnecessary requests.
