Node.js Apps with Docker and Twelve-Factor Principles

Building scalable and maintainable web applications requires a solid foundation of best practices. Learn how to architect your Node.js projects for reliability and ease of deployment. This course will equip you with the essential knowledge to develop production-ready Node.js applications by integrating industry-standard Twelve-Factor App principles and containerization using Docker. You will gain practical skills to structure, build, and run applications that are consistent across development, staging, and production environments. What you'll learn: - Understand the core principles of the Twelve-Factor App methodology for cloud-native development. - Configure Node.js applications to manage dependencies and environment variables effectively. - Containerize Node.js services using Docker, creating efficient and portable images. - Optimize Docker builds through multi-stage techniques for smaller, more secure containers. - Implement structured logging and robust error handling patterns in a containerized environment. - Practice orchestrating multi-service Node.js applications locally with Docker Compose. - Apply continuous integration/continuous delivery (CI/CD) fundamentals for automated deployments. The course begins with foundational concepts of the Twelve-Factor App, then systematically guides you through applying these principles to build and containerize Node.js applications with Docker. You will progress from basic container creation to advanced build optimizations and local orchestration. This course is designed for beginner developers eager to build modern, scalable Node.js applications. No prior experience with Docker or Twelve-Factor principles is required, just a basic understanding of JavaScript and Node.js fundamentals.
