## Docker Compose Project build using Flask and using Nginx as Loadbalancer

- This is basic flask based web application  to demonstrate the Docker compose concept

- So what is docker compose? so , Docker compose is tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications. with compose we use a yaml file to configure our

  application services.

- Compose is work on all envirenment production , staging development, testing as well as workflow also.

- The key feature's of docker compose :

   1. Have Multiple isolated environment on a single host .

   2. Preserve volume data when container are created .

   3. Only recreate's the container that have changed .

   4. Supports variables and moving a composition beetween environments.

      

### Project setup-

-  First , clone this repository to your system.

-  I have coded the docker-compose file in .yaml format.

-  So type **docker-compose Up** command to start application.

-  In this project we are using flask based Wed API , Nginx server and redis as a backend database.

### Use of Nginx server to enable scaling in docker compose

- We are using nginx web servers as loadbalancer for scaling of our application.

- For this task we have setup nginx.conf file.

- After compliting the setup follow below command.

   ```

   docker-compose scale web=5

   ```

- Here web is name off a service and 5 number of containers to be scaled.

- The Nginx act as proxy server to allow our application to scale.
