Flask App with Docker, Docker Compose, and Terraform

🚀 Project Overview

This project demonstrates the development, containerization, orchestration, and deployment of a Python Flask application using Docker, Docker Compose, and Terraform on AWS EC2.

🛠 Tech Stack

• Python Flask - Web framework
• Docker & Docker Compose - Containerization and service orchestration
• PostgreSQL - Database integration
• Terraform - Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for AWS provisioning
• AWS EC2 - Cloud deployment
• Linux WSL - Local development environment

📌 Features

1️⃣ Developed and Containerized a Python Flask Application with Docker

• Built a scalable Python Flask web application.
• Used multi-stage builds to reduce image size by 30% and improve deployment efficiency.
• Pushed Docker images to Docker Hub and managed containers locally.
• Integrated PostgreSQL for database functionality.

2️⃣ Orchestrated Multi-Service Application Using Docker Compose

• Configured Docker Compose to deploy the Flask app and PostgreSQL database as interdependent services.
• Reduced setup time by 50% compared to manual configurations.
• Implemented port mapping and environment variable management for seamless local testing.

3️⃣ Provisioned AWS EC2 Infrastructure with Terraform

• Automated the deployment of an AWS EC2 instance to host the Dockerized Flask app.
• Achieved 100% infrastructure-as-code coverage for the project.
• Configured user data scripts to install Docker and run containers automatically.

📌 Installation and Setup

1️⃣ Clone the Repository

git clone https://github.com/heyamay/docker-multi-stage-builds.git
cd flask-docker-terraform

2️⃣ Build and Run with Docker

docker build -t flask-app .
docker run -p 5000:5000 flask-app

3️⃣ Deploy with Docker Compose

docker-compose up -d

4️⃣ Deploy to AWS EC2 using Terraform

cd terraform
terraform init
terraform apply -auto-approve

📌 Resume Highlights

✅ Developed and containerized a Python Flask app using Docker & Docker Compose, reducing deployment setup time by 60%. ✅ Automated AWS EC2 provisioning with Terraform (IaC), cutting manual cloud infrastructure setup time by 80%. ✅ Integrated PostgreSQL in a Dockerized environment, using Docker Volumes for data persistence, reducing database downtime by 90%.
