Flask Redis Docker App

This repository is created for learning and proof-of-concept (POC) purposes. It demonstrates how to build a simple Flask application integrated with Redis, using Docker to containerize the entire setup. The project helps you understand how Flask interacts with Redis for caching and session management in a fully isolated development environment.

Features

• Flask Framework: A minimalistic web framework for building applications.
• Redis Integration: In-memory data storage used for caching and session management.
• Dockerized Setup: Simplifies development by containerizing both Flask and Redis services.

Prerequisites

Make sure you have the following installed:

• Docker
• Docker Compose

Setup Instructions
