Web Scaling Demo

This repository is a demo showcasing web scaling techniques, including horizontal scaling with Docker by running multiple containers, load balancing with Nginx, request caching with Redis, and content delivery using CDNs.

Prerequisites

Before starting, make sure you have the following installed:

• Docker Engine

Getting Started

1. Clone the repository (if you haven't already):

   git clone https://github.com/abdoh-alkhateeb/web-scaling-demo.git
   cd web-scaling-demo

2. Navigate to the root directory of the project: Ensure your terminal is in the same directory as the docker-compose.yml file.

3. Start the application:

   docker compose up

This command will spin up all the necessary services defined in the docker-compose.yml, including multiple app containers, Nginx as a load balancer, and Redis for caching.

Additional Notes

• Make sure Docker Desktop is running before executing any Docker commands.
• You can access the application in your browser at http://localhost (or the specified port).
• Logs will be output to your terminal. To stop the containers, press Ctrl+C.
