## What it is
A collection of real-world example projects demonstrating how to use Docker Compose with Node.js applications. It includes progressively complex setups: a basic Express app, an Express app with nodemon hot-reloading, and an Express app with Redis.

## Use cases
- learn how to set up docker compose for a nodejs app
- example of running express with nodemon in docker
- docker compose setup with redis and nodejs
- hot reload nodejs development environment in docker
- getting started with docker compose and javascript
- containerize an express application for local development

## When to choose
- you are new to Docker Compose and want practical Node.js examples
- you want a working nodemon hot-reload setup inside Docker
- you need a simple Express + Redis Compose skeleton to copy from

## When to avoid
- you need production-grade orchestration like Kubernetes
- you use a language or stack other than Node.js
- you want comprehensive documentation rather than example code

## Facets
- artifact type: learning-resource
- maturity: maintenance
- function: developer-tools, deployment, infrastructure-as-code
- domain: developer-tools, tutorials, backend
- platform: cross-platform
- tags: docker-compose, express, nodemon, redis, examples, nodejs, devops, containers, docker
