the intro
Compose runs multi-container apps from one YAML file: your API, its database, a cache, all networked together. One command starts everything in the right order. It is the local development standard for anything bigger than a single service.
fun fact ✦
Compose file names have a poetry to them: db, api, web — a whole circus in 30 lines of YAML.
