Get the 2026 .NET Developer roadmap here → https://the-dotnet-weekly.ck.page/202... Docker Compose is one of those tools every .NET developer should understand. In this video, we build a complete local development environment for a .NET 10 API from scratch using Docker Compose. We start with an empty Compose file and gradually add everything the application needs: A containerized .NET 10 API PostgreSQL for data storage Redis for distributed caching Environment variables and connection strings Persistent volumes for database data Container networking and service discovery Health checks and startup dependencies Port mapping between containers and your local machine Along the way, I explain the important Docker Compose concepts that often cause confusion, especially how containers communicate using service names and internal ports. By the end, you will have a working local stack with an API, database, and cache running together through Docker Compose.
