🚢 Phase 6: Orchestration with Docker Swarm (Optional) #

Once you’ve mastered local development, we introduce Docker Swarm for distributed service orchestration.

🎯 You’ll Learn: #

• Running your app on a multi-node Docker cluster
• Service scaling, rolling updates, and high availability
• Managing load balancing and service discovery

🛠 Topics Covered: #

• Initializing a Docker Swarm (docker swarm init)
• Creating overlay networks
• Deploying stacks via docker stack deploy
• Scaling services with replicas
• Monitoring service health and logs

🔁 Optional Lab: Simulate node failure and observe Swarm’s self-healing
