+## Compose sample application

+### React application with a Rust backend and a Postgresql database
+
+Project structure:
+```
+.
+├── backend
+│   ├── Dockerfile
+│   ...
+├── docker-compose.yaml
+├── frontend
+│   ├── ...
+│   └── Dockerfile
+└── README.md

+
+[_docker-compose.yaml_](docker-compose.yaml)
+```
+services:
+  backend:
+    build: backend
+    ...
+  db:
+    image: postgres:12-alpine
+    ...
+  frontend:
+    build: frontend
+    ports:
+    - 3000:3000
+    ...
+```
+The compose file defines an application with three services `frontend`, `backend` and `db`.
+When deploying the application, docker-compose maps port 3000 of the frontend service container to port 3000 of the host as specified in the file.
+Make sure port 3000 on the host is not already being in use.
+
+## Deploy with docker-compose
+

+$ docker-compose up -d

+Successfully tagged react-rust-postgres_frontend:latest
+WARNING: Image for service frontend was built because it did not already exist. To rebuild this image you must use `docker-compose build` or `docker-compose up --build`.

+Listing containers must show three containers running and the port mapping as below:
+```
+$ docker ps
