I containerize applications using Docker and Docker Compose so your environments are consistent, reproducible, and production-ready — eliminating the 'works on my machine' problem for good.
Deliverables include: optimized multi-stage Dockerfiles for any language or framework (Node, Python, Go, Ruby, Java, PHP, Rust, .NET); docker-compose.yml for local development; docker-compose.prod.yml override for production; named networks and volume management; health checks and resource constraints; .env layering with a documented .env example; and registry push configuration for GHCR, ECR, or Docker Hub.
For larger stacks I handle up to 8 services — app servers, databases, caches, message queues, workers — with proper dependency ordering and startup sequencing. I can also wire the Docker build and push steps into your existing GitHub Actions or GitLab CI pipeline.
Share your tech stack, list of services, deployment target, and any existing Dockerfiles to review. I'll assess and scope before starting.
