    What are Docker volumes and why do you need them?

    How do you write a good Dockerfile? What are multi-stage builds?

    Use a small, pinned base image, order instructions so dependencies are cached before source code, use multi-stage builds to leave build tools out of the final image, run as a non-root user and keep secrets out of the image.

    What is Docker Compose used for?

    Docker Compose defines a multi-container application (services, networks and volumes) in one YAML file so you can start, stop and rebuild the whole stack with a single command, typically for local development and testing.
