Docker: Use Compose Profiles to Start Only Needed Services

- 17.02.26 - ErcanOPAK

Running all services (database, cache, queue, monitoring) every time is slow. Profiles start only what you need.

docker-compose.yml:

services:
  app:
    build: .
    ports:
      - "3000:3000"

  db:
    image: postgres
    profiles: ["dev", "test"]

  redis:
    image: redis
    profiles: ["dev"]

  monitoring:
    image: grafana
    profiles: ["monitoring"]

  mailhog:
    image: mailhog/mailhog
    profiles: ["dev"]

Start Different Profiles:

# Just the app (no extras)
docker compose up

# Development (app + db + redis + mailhog)
docker compose --profile dev up

# Testing (app + db only)
docker compose --profile test up

# With monitoring
docker compose --profile dev --profile monitoring up

Clean, flexible environment management!
