What you'll learn

Packaging an application's code and its dependencies as a single deployable unit is essential and Docker has become the industry's de facto standard for achieving this. In this course, Docker for Software Development: React Apps, you’ll learn to Dockerize a React application. First, you’ll explore the steps to build a Dockerfile that runs your React application and enable live reloading. Next, you’ll discover how to enhance the Dockerfile with multiple stages for building and serving. Finally, you’ll learn how to override the default web server config file and make your React application production-ready. When you’re finished with this course, you’ll have the skills and knowledge to develop a React application in Docker, which is needed to create a highly portable and independent microservice component.
