Docker Compose MariaDB Multiple Database

In this article, We will explain to you how to set up MariaDB following multiple databases using Docker-Compose

  1. mydb (use can use it for local development)
  2. test (use can use it for testing)

Production Env:

The production database environment. You can use cloud databases such as AWS RDS, Heroku, etc.

Development Env:

A dedicated environment for database for local development.

Test Env:

A dedicated environment for database testing.

Why we need multiple databases?

If you have only a Production Database and you are developing a new feature if something breaks it will affect the whole Production Database.

For best practice, You must have a different Database Development Environment because if you are developing a new feature in a Development Environment if something breaks it will not impact on Production Database Environment.

Let’s Start Creating Multiple Environment Database
