Dockerize TaskFlow Frontend & Backend Lab
Clone the real TaskFlow repo and write real Dockerfiles for its FastAPI backend and Vue.js frontend, then compare your work against the production originals.
Lab Overview
🛠Lab from the Platform Engineering Bootcamp. Used in Week 7. Bootcamp landing page: https://academy.tekanaid.com/bootcamps/platform-engineering-bootcamp Parent course(s):
- Week 7: Docker Fundamentals (slug: docker-fundamentals)
In this hands-on lab, you'll clone the real TaskFlow repository (the same one you explored read-only in Week 6) and containerize both tiers from scratch. You'll write a Dockerfile for the real Python FastAPI backend, add a Docker HEALTHCHECK against its real /health endpoint, and write a multi-stage Dockerfile for the real Vue.js frontend (build with Node, serve with Nginx).
The production Dockerfile for each service already exists in the real repo, it's set aside at the start of the lab so you write your own from first principles. In the final task, you reveal both originals and compare them line by line against what you wrote, seeing how your Dockerfile stacks up against a real production one.
What You'll Learn
Write a Dockerfile for a real Python FastAPI backend, including a non-root user
Understand Docker layer caching by rebuilding a real image and inspecting docker history
Configure Docker HEALTHCHECK instructions against a real application's /health endpoint
Build a multi-stage Dockerfile for a real Vue.js frontend using nginx to serve static assets
Compare handwritten Dockerfiles against the real production originals in the same repo
