Simple steps to Dockerize Your Node.js Project

Dockerizing your Node.js project can significantly streamline your development workflow. Start by creating a `Dockerfile` at the root of your project. Use a lightweight Node.js base image, copy your application code, and install dependencies. Define the working directory and set environment variables as needed. Ensure your application listens on a port and expose it in the Dockerfile. Finally, build the Docker image with `docker build` and run it using `docker run`. This encapsulates your application in a container, ensuring consistency across different environments.
