What is Docker Compose?
Docker Compose: A tool that describes a multi-container application in one YAML file and starts, connects and stops all its services with a single command. It is widely used for local development and testing rather than large production clusters.
Docker Compose: an example
A compose file starts a model API, a Redis cache and a Postgres database together on a developer's laptop with `docker compose up`.
