4. Dockerize a Node.js App with a Database (PostgreSQL/MySQL)

• Objective: Containerize a Node.js app with a database service.
• Steps:
• Set up a Node.js app with API endpoints.
• Containerize the app by creating a Dockerfile.
• Use docker-compose to spin up a PostgreSQL or MySQL container and link it to your Node.js app.
• Add data persistence for your database using Docker volumes.
• Expose relevant ports to interact with the app from the host machine.

What you'll practice:

• Dockerizing a full-stack application.
• Managing different services (API and database).
• Using Docker volumes to persist data across container restarts.
