Docker Compose Generator
Build a complete docker-compose.yml for any stack in seconds — with health checks included
services:
app:
build: .
command: npm run start
ports:
- "3000:3000"
environment:
NODE_ENV: production
restart: unless-stopped
postgres:
image: postgres:16-alpine
environment:
POSTGRES_USER: app
POSTGRES_PASSWORD: change-me
POSTGRES_DB: app
volumes:
- pgdata:/var/lib/postgresql/data
ports:
- "5432:5432"
restart: unless-stopped
redis:

Select your stack — backend language, database, cache, reverse proxy — and generate a working docker-compose.yml file with proper networking, volume mounts, environment variables, and health checks. Saves hours of Docker documentation reading.
What Docker Compose Does
Docker Compose defines and runs multi-container applications. Instead of running each container manually with docker run, you describe your entire stack in a YAML file and start everything with docker compose up.
Stacks This Generator Supports
Backends: Python (FastAPI, Django, Flask), Node.js, Go Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, SQLite Caches: Redis, Memcached Queues: RabbitMQ, Kafka Reverse proxies: Nginx, Traefik Monitoring: Prometheus + Grafana

Production Docker Considerations
Development Compose files work locally but production needs more thought: resource limits, secret management, logging drivers, and restart policies. For containerised deployments on VPS, ECS, or Fly.io, book a consultation.

All tools
.env Manager
Validate environment variable names and values before they reach production. Env Manager checks names against POSIX rules, flags values that different .env parsers read differently, and shows which entries are secrets that should not sit in a file.
.gitignore Generator
Build a .gitignore for your stack in seconds. Covers dependencies, build output, IDE files and the .env patterns that keep secrets out of a public repository.
API Mock Server
Create a live mock REST endpoint with your own path, method, status code, headers, delay and JSON body — so you can build and test a frontend or automation before the real API is ready.
API Request Tester
Send REST API requests from your browser with custom headers, auth and a JSON body, and inspect the status, headers and response. Includes a guide to reading status codes and diagnosing CORS.
Base64 Encoder
Convert text, JSON or files to Base64 in the browser, with nothing sent to a server. Covers the padding rules, the exact 33% size increase, and the non-canonical strings that decode to identical bytes.
Cron Expression Generator
Build cron expressions visually and get the correct string for crontab, GitHub Actions, EventBridge, Kubernetes, Make or n8n — with a field reference and the common gotchas explained.
