+services:
+  redis:
+    image: 'redis:alpine'
+    ports:
+      - '6379:6379'
+  web1:
+    restart: on-failure
+    build: ./web1
+    ports:
+      - '81:5000'
+  web2:
+    restart: on-failure
+    build: ./web2
+    ports:
+      - '82:5000'
+  nginx:
+    build: ./nginx
+    ports:
+    - '80:80'
+    depends_on:
+    - web1
+    - web2
+```
+The compose file defines an application with four services `redis`, `web`, `web1` and `web2`.
+When deploying the application, docker-compose maps port 80 of the web service container to port 80 of the host as specified in the file.
+Redis runs on default port 6379. Make sure port 6379 on the host is not being used by another container, otherwise the port should be changed.
+
+## Deploy with docker-compose
+
+```
+$ docker-compose up -d
+```
+```
+Creating nginx-nodejs-redis_redis_1 ... done
+Creating nginx-nodejs-redis_web1_1  ... done
+Creating nginx-nodejs-redis_web2_1  ... done
+Creating nginx-nodejs-redis_nginx_1 ... done
+```
+
+
+## Expected result
+
+Listing containers must show three containers running and the port mapping as below:
+
+
+```
+docker-compose ps
+           Name                        Command              State           Ports

+                             ...

+                             start   
+```
+
+## Testing the app
+
+After the application starts, navigate to `http://localhost:80` in your web browser or run:
+
+```
+curl localhost:80
+curl localhost:80
+web1: Total number of visits is: 1
+```
+
+```
+curl localhost:80
+web1: Total number of visits is: 2
+```
+```
+$ curl localhost:80
+web2: Total number of visits is: 3
+```
+
+```
+$ curl localhost:80
+web2: Total number of visits is: 4
+``` 
+
+
+## Stop and remove the containers
+
+```
+$ docker-compose down
+```
+
