Docker & DevOps for Builders
Deploying by hand — FTPing files, SSHing into servers, running commands in production — is the single biggest time sink for independent builders. Docker eliminates environment drift. GitHub Actions eliminates manual deploys. This course teaches you containers, Compose, CI/CD pipelines, and production-ready deployment on Fly.io and Railway — so your code ships the same way, every time, automatically.
