LAYER 3 · INFRA · STAGE 3

Docker for FDEs

Quick answer

Packaging code and its dependencies so it runs anywhere. A container is how you ship the same build into the customer's environment.

Practise it

  1. 1. Containerise a small API
  2. 2. Use multi-stage builds to shrink an image
  3. 3. Run it with an env file and a health check

Where it sits

Stage 3 of the roadmap: Cloud and deployment. You can ship code to an environment you do not own and see it running.
