Guided: Deploying a Java SE App with Docker
In this Code Lab, you'll take a simple Java SE web application and containerize it using Docker. You will learn to write a basic Dockerfile, build an image, and run a container. Then, you'll discover the power of optimization by converting your Dockerfile to a multi-stage build, creating a smaller, more secure final image. **Note:** This lab experience was developed by the Pluralsight team using Forge, an internally developed AI tool utilizing Gemini technology. All sections were verified by human experts for accuracy prior to publication. For issue reporting, please [contact us](https://help.pluralsight.com/hc/en-us/requests/new).
