It’s time for another video! This time, join me as I walk through Creating a SQL Server docker container using VS Code. As a bonus, I’ll also show you how to create a PostgreSQL server in a docker container.
Hope you find this helpful and let me know your thoughts!

When it comes to tech, containers seemed to fall under that category. I kept hearing and attending sessions about them, but it didn’t really start coming together until I finally set one up. Now that I’m starting to use it a little more, the container is starting to make more sense. I still have a lot of questions but now I’m in a better place to figure them out.
