Description
Add Docker support to allow for containerization.
This will allow the project to run through Docker on multiple systems under isolation.
Context
Currently, deploying the Flask microservice involves manual setup and configuration, leading to potential inconsistencies and issues across different environments. Dockerizing the microservice would provide a standardized and isolated environment, making it easier for developers to manage dependencies and streamline deployment processes.
Expected Behavior
The repository should include a Dockerfile for building the Docker image.
The Docker image should include all necessary dependencies and configurations.
Clear documentation should be provided on how to use the Docker image for local development and production deployment.
Support for environment variables or configuration files to customize the microservice behavior within the Docker container.
Use Case Examples
Developers should be able to run the microservice locally using Docker for consistent development environments.
Deployment in production environments should be simplified with Docker, ensuring a consistent runtime environment.
Requirements
[x] Research implementation
[x] Create initial dockerfile
[x] Create additional configuration
[x] Testing and verification
[x] Integration into deployment
Considerations
Consider using an official base Python image and provide clear instructions for adding the Flask application.
Utilize multi-stage builds to optimize the size of the Docker image.
Include a sample docker-compose.yml file for easy integration with other services.
