Adventures in the Cloud, Part 94: ECS
My name’s Robin, and I’m a Developer Advocate. What that means in part is that I build a ton of demos, and Docker Compose is my jam. I love using Docker Compose for the same reasons that many people do:
-
Spin up and tear down fully-functioning multi-component environments with ease. No bespoke builds, no cloning of VMs to preserve "that magic state where everything works"
-
Repeatability. It’s the same each time.
-
Portability. I can point someone at a
docker-compose.yml
that I’ve written and they can run the same on their machine with the same results almost guaranteed.
