Docker Compose is a CLI tool that takes several containers and assembles them into applications that can run on a single host using a specially formatted descriptor file. YAML files are useful in configuring the application's services. The fact that it enables users to run commands on multiple containers simultaneously is unquestionably a plus. This means that developers can create a YAML config script for an application's services and then start it with a single command.
This tool, which was originally created for Linux, is now available for all major operating systems, including macOS and Windows. One of the key advantages of Docker Compose is its portability. Docker-compose up is sufficient to put up a complete development platform, which can then be taken down with docker-compose down. As a result, developers can easily centralize their application development.
