Fundamentals
Learn It. Build It. Run It. Move beyond `docker run` to orchestrating complex production environments.
The Gap
You know the commands.

β‘
You know the commands.
We teach the architecture.
Most tutorials stop at "Hello World" or a static Flask server that dies when you refresh. In production, containers crash, services timeout, and secrets leak. This course bridges the gap between Docker CLI familiarity and building resilient, cloud-native systems.
Ship to the Cloud
Stop running servers on your laptop. Deploy your containers to AWS ECS and configure load balancing with Nginx.
Automate the Loop
Connect your GitHub repo to a CI/CD pipeline. Every time you push, your code is tested, built, and deployed.

Tools That Matter in 2024
We don't use deprecated tech or obscure tools. You'll master the standard stack used by modern engineering teams.
Docker & Docker Compose
Containerization fundamentals, networking, volumes, and multi-stage builds for optimization.
GitHub Actions
Write reusable workflows, cache dependencies, and trigger deployments on pull requests.
AWS ECS
Serverless container orchestration. Task definitions, service discovery, and auto-scaling.
Nginx
Reverse proxy configuration, SSL termination, and load balancing strategies.
Curriculum
7 Modules. 28 Lessons. Zero Fluff.
A deep dive into the lifecycle of a containerized application.
Understanding namespaces, cgroups, and the difference between containers and virtual machines. Setting up a local Docker environment.
Writing optimized Dockerfiles, multi-stage builds, caching strategies, and debugging image layers.
Managing multi-container applications. Networking between services, volume persistence, and dependency management.
Building a robust pipeline: linting, unit testing, building the Docker image, and pushing to a registry.
Provisioning AWS resources programmatically. Setting up VPCs, security groups, and IAM roles for containers.
Registering tasks, configuring ECS services, setting up load balancers, and configuring auto-scaling policies.
Logging strategies, debugging running containers, performance profiling, and handling 404s and 500s in production.
Run It
Built-in Browser Terminal
No local setup headaches. Spin up a full Linux environment, install Docker, write code, and deploy directly from your browser. This is how it feels to work in the cloud.
