About Student List Application

This project demonstrates a Dockerized microservices architecture using Docker Compose to orchestrate a multi-container application. It showcases Docker best practices for containerization, networking, and service orchestration.

🐳 Docker-Powered Architecture

The Student List application is built entirely with Docker and Docker Compose, featuring:

• Multi-container orchestration - Seamless coordination between frontend and backend services
• Custom Docker networking - Isolated bridge network for secure inter-container communication
• Volume mounting - Persistent data management and live code updates
• Environment-based configuration - Containerized environment variables for flexibility
• Service dependencies - Proper startup order management with depends_on

Technology Stack

• Frontend: PHP/Apache web server (Dockerized)
• Backend: Python API (Custom Docker image)
• Orchestration: Docker Compose v3. 3
• Networking: Docker Bridge Network

Key Docker Features Demonstrated

✅ Multi-stage service deployment
✅ Custom Docker image creation (api-pozos:1)
✅ Volume mapping for development workflow
✅ Container networking and service discovery
✅ Port exposure and mapping
✅ Environment variable injection
✅ Container dependency management

This project serves as an excellent learning resource for understanding Docker containerization, microservices architecture, and Docker Compose orchestration patterns.
