In this video, I’ll show you how to spin up a PostgreSQL database locally using Docker.

We’ll go through two methods:
Using the Docker CLI for quick setup
Using Docker Compose for clean, project-based configuration

I’ll explain what volumes are, why containers matter, and how to persist your data so you don’t lose everything when you restart.

You’ll also learn how to connect your Node.js or Prisma app to the database with a proper connection string.

💬 Drop questions in the comments if anything’s unclear — I’ll reply!
