NET 8 Web API with Sql Server in Docker

This repository contains a sample ASP.NET Core 8 Web API (Product.API) that has been containerized using Docker multi-stage builds.

🚀 Steps

1. Created a .NET 8 Web API project (Product.API).
2. Wrote a multi-stage Dockerfile to:
   • Use the .NET SDK image (mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/sdk:8.0) to restore, build, and publish the application.
   • Use the .NET Runtime image (mcr.microsoft.com/dotnet/aspnet:8.0) to run the application in a lightweight production-ready container.
3. Configured the app to listen on port 8000 inside the container.
4. Built and tested the image locally using Docker Desktop.

Docker-Compose

1. Multiple Services at Once: Run the API and SQL Server together with one command.
2. Service Dependencies: depends_on ensures SQL Server starts before the API.
3. Centralized Configuration: Ports, environment variables, and networks are defined in one place.
