Node.js 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 and TypeScript.
- Basic knowledge of Node.js, npm, and React 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 guide.
- Familiarity with Express.js 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.
