Introduction

Developing and deploying applications has always been a challenging task for developers. Different environments, dependencies, and configurations make it difficult to ensure that the application works consistently across different machines.

Containerization is a solution to this problem that allows developers to package applications and their dependencies into a single unit called a container. Containers provide a lightweight, portable, and scalable way to package applications and make them easier to deploy and run across different environments.

In this article, we will discuss how to use Docker multi-stage build to package a Node.js and TypeScript project into a container. We will provide step-by-step instructions to help you create a Docker image that packages your Node.js and TypeScript application, along with its dependencies and configurations, into a single container.

By the end of this article, you will have a better understanding of how to leverage Docker and containerization to streamline your development and…
