Hi! I would like to claim this issue.

I am a DevOps engineer with active experience in container orchestration and Docker Compose workflows. I recently configured the containerized environment for a healthcare platform (MedLink), handling service networking and volume management.

My plan for this issue:

• Create a docker-compose.yml that defines all microservices.
  -Implement internal networking so services communicate securely.
  -Add healthcheck blocks to ensure dependent services (like DBs) are ready before the app starts.
  -Configure volume mounts to enable hot-reloading for a smooth developer experience.

I am ready to start immediately.
