Pro Tips
Use 'docker compose up -d' for detached mode and 'docker compose logs -f' to follow logs.
Use profiles to group services: 'docker compose --profile debug up' starts only debug services.
Use 'depends_on' with 'condition: service_healthy' to wait for dependencies to be truly ready.
Common Mistakes
'depends_on' only waits for container start, not application readiness. Use healthchecks for proper sequencing.
Don't commit .env files with secrets. Use environment-specific files or secret management solutions.
