Docker Deployment & Security

Move from local development to production-ready Docker deployment. Configure Docker Compose with PostgreSQL, set up persistent storage, and learn critical security practices for containerized applications.

You'll learn to:

• Write a production-ready Dockerfile for Backstage applications
• Create Docker Compose configuration with multi-service architecture
• Configure PostgreSQL database integration with proper schemas
• Set up persistent storage and volume management
• CRITICAL: Learn production security with Docker secrets (not environment variables)
• Test containerized deployment and troubleshoot common issues
• Understand deployment best practices and security considerations

This hands-on lab prepares your Backstage application for secure production deployment using containerization.
