Docker is a versatile containerization tool that simplifies the management of the essential components that power your web application. It saves you the stress of grappling with various independent tools and configurations. In this tutorial, we will explore how Docker can be used in Laravel development to streamline the process of serving your Laravel applications locally, migrate them across different computers or servers, eliminate software compatibility concerns, and deploy an application to a remote server. We'll also learn how to run Laravel inside a Docker container and deploy it with Docker Compose. By the end of this tutorial, you should be able to use Docker to assemble your Laravel application like a well-organized LEGO set, allowing you to construct and operate it seamlessly.
