How can I use Docker Compose with Python microservices?

How can I use Docker Compose with Python microservices?

You can define your microservices in a docker-compose.yml file, specifying each service and its dependencies.

Can you give me an example of a docker-compose.yml file for a Python service?

Sure! Here's a simple example:

version: '3'
services:
  web:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "5000:5000"
    volumes:
      - .:/code
  redis:
    image: "redis:alpine"

What if I want to connect multiple services together?

You can link services by using the service name as the hostname. For example, your Python service can connect to Redis using redis as the hostname.

How do I run the services defined in the docker-compose file?

You can run the services by executing docker-compose up in the terminal. This will start all the defined services.
