## Key concepts these samples cover

The samples should help you to:

- Define services based on Docker images using
  [Compose files](/reference/compose-file/_index.md)
- Understand the relationship between `compose.yaml` and
  [Dockerfiles](/reference/dockerfile/)
- Learn how to make calls to your application services from Compose files
- Learn how to deploy applications and services to a [swarm](/manuals/engine/swarm/_index.md)

## Awesome Compose samples
