Docker Compose is een begrip binnen de industriële digitalisering en softwaredeployment & architectuur.

Definitie

Docker Compose is een tool voor het definiëren en uitvoeren van multi-container Docker applicaties. Het gebruikt YAML-bestanden om services, netwerken en volumes te configureren, waardoor complexe applicatie-stacks met een enkel commando kunnen worden gedeployed en beheerd.

Kenmerken

  • YAML configuratie: Declaratieve service definitie in docker-compose.yml files
  • Multi-container orchestration: Coordination van meerdere gerelateerde containers
  • Service networking: Automatische netwerk connectivity tussen containers
  • Volume management: Persistent data storage configuration
  • Environment variables: Flexible configuration voor verschillende omgevingen
  • Dependency management: Service startup order en health check dependencies
  • Load balancing: Traffic distribution across container instances
  • Development workflows: Local development environment replication
  • Override files: Environment-specific configuration aanpassingen

Toepassing

Manufacturing system deployment:

  • MES stacks: Database, application server, web interface coordination
  • Data historian: Time-series database with visualization dashboards
  • Quality systems: Statistical analysis tools with data pipeline services
  • Edge computing: Industrial edge device multi-service deployment

Development environments:

  • Local development: Complete application stack replication
  • Testing environments: Automated test infrastructure provisioning
  • CI/CD pipelines: Consistent build en test environment deployment
  • Microservices: Service mesh deployment en inter-service communication

Industrial IoT platforms:

  • IIoT data pipeline: Sensor data ingestion, processing, storage services
  • Protocol converters: Multi-protocol industrial gateway deployment
  • Real-time analytics: Stream processing en alerting service coordination
  • Edge-to-cloud: Hybrid deployment bridging local en cloud services

Monitoring en logging:

  • Observability stacks: Prometheus, Grafana, logging service coordination
  • Health monitoring: Application en infrastructure health checking
  • Alert management: Multi-service alerting en notification systems
  • Performance monitoring: APM (Application Performance Monitoring) service deployment
