Summary

We need to containerize our application to enhance deployment consistency and scalability. This will help in running the application uniformly across different environments and simplify the deployment process.

Objectives

• Develop a Dockerfile: Create a Dockerfile that defines the application environment.
• Include Dependencies: Ensure all necessary dependencies are installed within the container.
• Test Locally: Verify that the containerized application functions as expected in a local environment.

Expected Outcome

A fully functional Docker container that guarantees consistent deployment across development, testing, and production environments.

Additional Notes

• Consider using Docker Compose if the application interacts with multiple services.
• Handle sensitive data securely using environment variables.
