[Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en) is a JavaScript runtime for building web applications. This guide shows you how to containerize a TypeScript Node.js application with a React frontend and PostgreSQL database.
|
||
|
||
The sample application is a modern full-stack Todo application featuring:
|
||
|
||
- **Backend**: Express.js with TypeScript, PostgreSQL database, and RESTful API
|
||
- **Frontend**: React.js with Vite and Tailwind CSS 4

## What will you learn?
|
||
|
||
In this guide, you will learn how to:
|
||
|
||
- Containerize and run a Node.js application using Docker.
|
||
- Run tests inside a Docker container.
|
||
- Set up a development container environment.
|
||
- Configure GitHub Actions for CI/CD with Docker.
|
||
- Deploy your Dockerized Node.js app to Kubernetes.
|
||
|
||
To begin, you’ll start by containerizing an existing Node.js application.

## Prerequisites
|
||
|
||
Before you begin, make sure you're familiar with the following:
|
||
|
||
- Basic understanding of [JavaScript](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript) and [TypeScript](https://www.typescriptlang.org/).
|
||
- Basic knowledge of [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en), [npm](https://docs.npmjs.com/about-npm), and [React](https://react.dev/) for modern web development.
|
||
- Understanding of Docker concepts such as images, containers, and Dockerfiles. If you're new to Docker, start with the [Docker basics](/get-started/docker-concepts/the-basics/what-is-a-container.md) guide.
|
||
- Familiarity with [Express.js](https://expressjs.com/) for backend API development.
|
||
|
||
Once you've completed the Node.js getting started modules, you’ll be ready to containerize your own Node.js application using the examples and instructions provided in this guide.
