Docker + Drupal 8: Spin-up local environment in fast and easy way

It's all microservices nowadays man!! :)

OK, enough of the jargon. Before we get into that, I would like to introduce with this beast called Docker.

For those of you who doesn't know yet about what Docker is, it is a container-based open platform for developing, shipping and running applications.

Sounds simple right? But what's the benefits of it?

Besides some that were mentioned here, here, here and here, based on my knowledge and personal experienced:

• Can be a replacement for Vagrant :)
• Easy and fast way to spin-up any services you'd like, ie: Redis, ElasticSearch, Consul, you name it!
• Isolated separate environment without interrupting other services.

So on this meetup I will share with you about what Docker is actually about, how to create a basic Docker configuration, and integrate it with Drupal 8 so you can happily develop cool stuff with Drupal 8 in your local machine, fast and easy way. And perhaps we can discuss some other things too along the way.

Sounds cool?! :)

If it is, then please RSVP to mark your attendance, and I'll look forward seeing you all in 22 Nov. Cheers!

Note:
We're not going to provide food or drinks this time since organizing it (and cleaning up afterwards) is time-consuming and seems to be one of the reasons we got tired of planning the meetups. So, we'll keep it simple and just focused on Drupal. But, feel free to bring snacks and drinks for yourself and for sharing! As always, we'll convene downstairs at the food court for dinner, drinks and conversations after the meetup.
