The Production-First Container Architecture

Manual server tweaks create drift. Reproducible container workflows prevent that.

Compose baseline

version: "3.8"
services:
  backend:
    image: geniusdevs-laravel:latest
    networks: [app-tier]
  nginx:
    image: nginx:alpine
    ports:
      - "80:80"
    networks: [app-tier]

Deployment notes

Use blue/green with health probes before traffic switch.
