| ### Building and running your application | |
| When you're ready, start your application by running: | |
| `docker compose up --build`. | |
| Your application will be available at http://localhost:8000. | |
| ### Deploying your application to the cloud | |
| First, build your image, e.g.: `docker build -t myapp .`. | |
| If your cloud uses a different CPU architecture than your development | |
| machine (e.g., you are on a Mac M1 and your cloud provider is amd64), | |
| you'll want to build the image for that platform, e.g.: | |
| `docker build --platform=linux/amd64 -t myapp .`. | |
| Then, push it to your registry, e.g. `docker push myregistry.com/myapp`. | |
| Consult Docker's [getting started](https://docs.docker.com/go/get-started-sharing/) | |
| docs for more detail on building and pushing. | |
