More Power in Your Docker Compose

Docker Compose has features to solve common problems like running a database migration before the app boots, waiting for a database to be ready, or spinning up only a subset of dependencies. These features include healthchecks, dependency conditions, and more. To use them, pin your image tags, use the start_period, and consider using start_interval for services with long startup times. This can improve reproducibility and reduce friction in your development workflow.
