Dockerize the app with docker-compose

[Navashub]

Description

Make the project runnable anywhere with a single command using Docker and docker-compose.

What to do

• Write a Dockerfile for the FastAPI app:
  • Base: python:3.11-slim
  • Install dependencies, copy source, expose port 8000, run uvicorn
• Write a docker-compose.yml with two services:
  • app — the FastAPI container
  • db — a PostgreSQL container
• The app service should depend on db and read DATABASE_URL from compose environment
• Add a Makefile with:
  • make up → docker-compose up --build
  • make down → docker-compose down
  • make logs → docker-compose logs -f
• Update README with Docker setup instructions

Acceptance Criteria

• make up starts both services with no manual steps
• http://localhost:8000/docs works after running make up
• The app connects to the PostgreSQL container (not SQLite)
• make down stops and removes containers cleanly
