Question

What are some Docker best practices for Java development?

Answer 1

Some of the best Docker practise for Java development are as follows:-

• The things which you want to keep around, don’t store them on disk, instead use a backing service.

• Also do not store logs in the container, use stdout or stderr or Syslog.

• Assume your container will be scaled out or restarted; don't write code that can only run once or else corrupt your data.

• Assume your container is ephemeral and can be destroyed at any time.

If you want to learn Docker then I would say you must take up the following Docker training Course. You can also watch the following Docker and Java videos to clear all your concepts regarding these two.
