Create a web service with Docker + Flask

Introduction

We will introduce it using the sample application (feedback-api).

`Although it is an article on Mac environment, the procedure is the same for Windows environment. Please read and try the environment-dependent part. ``

Purpose

After reading this article to the end, you will be able to:

Execution environment

Source code

I think that understanding will deepen if you read while actually following the implementation contents and source code. Please use it by all means.
