Docker Compose support in Spring Boot 3.1 builds on top of the ConnectionDetails abstraction, which we've featured in a separate blog post. If you haven't already read it, please do so before reading this post.

Docker Compose "is a tool for defining and running multi-container Docker applications". A Docker Compose configuration file, usually named docker-compose.yaml or compose.yaml, allows you to define services. Such services must have a name and a Docker image. Optionally you can also define environment variables, exposed ports, labels, how services relate to one another, and so on.

If you've used Spring Boot for a while, you're probably familiar with setting up connection details using properties.

It serves as a tagging interface, and is extended by multiple other interfaces which model the connection to a concrete remote service, e.g. RedisConnectionDetails for connections to a Redis server or JdbcConnectionDetails…
