```

The services will start running, and you can access the Golang application at `http://localhost:8000`, Prometheus at `http://localhost:9090/health`, and Grafana at `http://localhost:3000`. You can also check the running containers using the `docker ps` command.

```console
$ docker ps
```

## Summary

In this section, you learned how to connect services together using Docker Compose. You created a Docker Compose file to run multiple services together and connect them using networks. You also learned how to build and run the services using Docker Compose.

Related information:

 - [Docker Compose overview](/manuals/compose/_index.md)
 - [Compose file reference](/reference/compose-file/_index.md)

Next, you will learn how to develop the Golang application with Docker Compose and monitor it with Prometheus and Grafana.

## Next steps

In the next section, you will learn how to develop the Golang application with Docker. You will also learn how to use Docker Compose Watch to rebuild the image whenever you make changes to the code. Lastly, you will test the application and visualize the metrics in Grafana using Prometheus as the data source.
Title: Running Services, Accessing Applications, and Docker Compose Summary
Summary
This section details the output seen when the Docker Compose services are running, including log messages from the Go API, Prometheus, and Grafana. It provides the URLs for accessing each application (Go API, Prometheus, and Grafana) and mentions the `docker ps` command for checking running containers. A summary is given of using Docker Compose to connect and run services, linking to further documentation on Docker Compose. The following steps involve developing the Golang application with Docker and monitoring it using Prometheus and Grafana.
