Moving beyond CI/CD with Dokploy

Dokploy is a Docker-based deployment platform that simplifies the traditional CI/CD pipeline by using containers to eliminate environment drift and manual deployment steps. The post walks through setting up a basic Python web server with Docker Compose in Dokploy, configuring automatic domain routing via Traefik, and triggering redeployments on GitHub pushes. Key benefits highlighted include Docker layer caching for faster subsequent builds, zero-downtime container swaps, and built-in domain/SSL management without needing GitHub Actions or manual server configuration.
