docker compose on multiple environments

docker-compose is a pretty cool tool that allows you to bootstrap and run multiple docker containers with 1 configuration file

Below is an example docker-compose file for staring a 3 node confluent kafka cluster

You can now run docker-compose by with a second -f and the redefined properties in the test file will ovewrite those in the base file

docker-compose -f docker-compose.yml -f docker-compose.test.yml up -d
