## What it is
A curated awesome-list of Docker Compose sample projects demonstrating how to wire together multi-service stacks (e.g., NGINX + Flask + MongoDB, React + Express + MySQL). Samples are intended for local development and learning, not production deployment.

## Use cases
- find docker compose examples for a multi-service stack
- learn how to connect nginx with a backend and database
- starter template for react express mysql project
- set up elasticsearch logstash kibana locally with compose
- example compose file for flask and redis
- learn docker compose by example

## When to choose
- you want copy-paste Compose files to bootstrap a local dev stack
- you are learning how to integrate services with Docker Compose
- you need a reference for wiring proxies, apps, and databases together

## When to avoid
- you need production-ready, hardened deployment configurations
- you want a tool or library rather than example files
- you need orchestration beyond single-host Compose (e.g., Kubernetes)

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: active
- function: developer-tools, deployment, configuration-management, documentation
- domain: developer-tools, self-hosted
- platform: cross-platform, cli
