Deployment using Docker
In the previous sections, we configured a local server to mimic a production environment. Now, we’ll take a more versatile approach by containerizing our NestJS application using Docker. Docker allows us to package our application and its dependencies into a portable container, ensuring consistent behavior across different environments, whether it’s your local machine, a staging server, or a production.
In this section, we’ll focus on deploying our sample application using Docker. We’ll walk through the process of creating a Dockerfile, building a Docker image, and running it as a container. While we won’t cover Docker basics in detail, we’ll guide you to the official Docker documentation for any setup or background knowledge you may need.
Here’s what we’ll cover:
- Creating a Dockerfile for your NestJS application
- Building and running your Docker container
- Optimizing your Docker image...
