Let’s containerize a database!

I wanted a database in my local machine to try out some queries and thought about setting up a little test environment. I didn’t want to go through the process of installing MySQL so let’s make some Docker containers instead.

Docker, the very popular container virtualization solution written in Go. Used as the very building blocks for microservices since it works very well with Kubernetes. I need a small database and don’t care about data persistence for the environment so this is perfect for small POC’s or projects.
