Instead of typing long <code>docker run</code> commands with dozens of flags, you describe your entire stack — services, networks, volumes, secrets — in a single YAML file. One command (<code>docker compose up</code>) brings everything to life.</p> <p>Compose is the standard way to run local development environments, CI pipelines, and even lightweight production workloads. Understanding its full vocabulary gives you precise control over how your containers behave.</p>
