Combining Compose files

Now that we have split the task-manager application, we should be able to run and have the same functionality we had in Chapter 6, Monitoring Services with Prometheus. We should be able to store the tasks by executing requests to the Task Manager combined with a location.

Compose offers the option to combine multiple files.

Let’s run the application and all the services needed together:

docker compose -f base-compose.yaml -f monitoring/docker-compose.yaml -f event-service/docker-compose.yaml -f location-service/docker-compose.yaml -f task-manager/docker-compose.yaml up
