Dockerizing Angular App With Java Backend

Learn How to Dockerize and make it a deployable image

Docker is an enterprise-ready container platform that enables organizations to seamlessly build, share, and run any application, anywhere. Almost every company is containerizing its applications for faster production workloads so that they can deploy anytime and sometimes several times a day. There are so many ways we can build an Angular App. One way is to dockerize the Angular app with Java backend and create a docker image so that we can deploy that image any time or sometimes several times a day.

In this post, we look at the example project and see the step by step guide on how we can dockerizing the Angular app with Java as a server.

Introduction

Nowadays, it’s very common to dockerize and deploy the Docker image in the production with the help of container orchestration engines such as Docker Swarn or Kubernetes. We are going to Dockerize the app and create an image and run it on Docker on our local machine. We could also push that Image in to Docker hub and pull it whenever and wherever we need it.

Here is the complete guide on how to develop an Angular app with Java as a backend server. If you are not familiar with the process or you want to know before studying this guide, I would recommend you going through it.
