# Lab: The Containerized SDLC Build a real Node.js API, then apply containers at every stage of the software development lifecycle. You'll write a Compose file for local development, integration tests using Testcontainers, a CI/CD pipeline, and Kubernetes manifests — using the same container image throughout. ## Launch the lab

  1. Start the labspace:

    $ docker compose -p labspace -f oci://dockersamples/labspace-containerized-sdlc up -d

  2. Open your browser to http://dockerlabs.xyz.

  3. When you're done, tear down the labspace:

    $ docker compose -p labspace down
## What you'll learn By the end of this Labspace, you will have completed the following: - Set up a containerized local development environment with Docker Compose and Compose Watch - Write integration tests that spin up a real database using Testcontainers - Build a CI/CD pipeline that tests, builds, and pushes a container image automatically - Write Kubernetes manifests and deploy a live application to a k3s cluster - Configure the pipeline to cause an automatic deployment on every push to `main` ## Modules | # | Module | Description | | --- | ----------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | | 1 | Introduction: Meet the App | Tour the TaskFlow API and understand the SDLC journey ahead | | 2 | Local Dev with Docker Compose | Write a `compose.yaml` to provision a local database and visualizer | | 3 | Containerizing Your Dev Environment | Add the app to Compose with hot-reloading via Compose Watch | | 4 | Integration Testing with Testcontainers | Write self-contained tests that start a real PostgreSQL container | | 5 | Continuous Integration with Gitea Actions | Build a pipeline that tests, builds, and pushes a container image | | 6 | Deploying to Kubernetes | Write manifests and deploy to a live k3s cluster with automated rollouts | | 7 | The Containerized SDLC: A Recap | Review the portability, consistency, and reproducibility gains |
