01 Introduction - working with Docker and Laravel

In this series, I am going to setup Laravel with Docker containers and use Postgres as the database, Redis as cache and Elastic search for search requirement.

Containers are a really nice way of doing development and it ensures that your application can run seamlessly across different developers and on the production server as well because we ship the environment as well along with our code.

Docker ensures we don't have problems where some code is running on the development environment, but for some reason, it fails to work as expected on the production instance.
