I’m working on a small deployment tool called push2start[1]. The goal is to make Docker Compose apps easier to deploy from a laptop to a remote server without a lot of custom scripts. Right now, I’m trying to keep Compose as the source of truth and avoid creating another mini orchestrator. You point it at a compose file, it transfers only the images that need to come from local, then deploys and gives status, logs, and restart controls from one CLI.

I remember reading that Docker Compose is for development environments only, and should not be used in production. Did that change?

  • Nope! This is for development purposes only. Say, for example, you have a frontend team that wants to connect to a service, and that service talks to other services to get a response, and you sort of want like a central point of connection for the frontend team just for development purposes only, not for production.
