Dockerized Application Deployment Template

You can use this project as template for deploying any dockerized application in a server without much pain. Just need to replace sample projects (frontend, backend, third-party) relevant way.

As the sample code,

Frontend --> Backend(calculate function) --> ThirdParty(response decorate function)

And also, update the docker images names in the docker-compose.yaml file as necessary.
