Node on Docker - from development to delivery

HI!

So for this Meetup, we'll take a look at Dev Ops ...

What we're covering:

• Local Development setup (basic Docker info, fig, why use Docker, Node/redis/postgres setup with Docker)

• Continuous integration/delivery workflow (Docker Hub, Github, CI services, Digital Ocean)

Abstract

Let's face it: If your development environment varies from production, you never really know how your application will perform once deployed.

Docker solves this problem. It lets you easily spin up isolated development environments that are near exact snapshots of the production environment in which it's deployed. Then when you're done developing and testing, you can rest assured that your application will behave the same in production since you deploy the entire snapshot, not just the code.

This three part series will teach you everything you need to know about developing with Docker - from setting up your environments and utilizing Node on Docker to detailing a powerful development workflow that covers setting up a fully functional development environment (with various services) and managing continuous integration and delivery.
