Currently building a Spotify-inspired music streaming app β and this week's focus has been learning Docker π³
Until now, I'd mostly relied on cloud platforms for deployment, but I wanted to understand what's actually happening under the hood. So I started containerizing this project from scratch.
A few things that clicked for me:
β Consistent environments β no more "it works on my machine" surprises
β Isolating services (app, database, etc.) instead of installing everything directly on my system
β Docker Compose for spinning up multiple containers together with a single command
It's a small addition to the stack, but it's already changing how I think about building and shipping applications β not just writing code, but thinking about how it actually runs in different environments.
Still early days with this project, but excited to keep building.
