Docker images with TCP/UDP server examples

The purpose of this repository is to demonstrate simple tcp/udp servers based on different programming languages.

It also shows a typical containerization for them including multistage builds

Testing the containers

Once a container has been started, use socat and send the command DISCOVER from stdin to the sockets:

TCP

socat - tcp4-connect:localhost:54321

UDP

socat - udp4-connect:localhost:12345

Docker Image size

At the time of writing the image sizes for the respective demo docker images were as follows after adding multistage builds for all:

c-tcp-udp-server	80.6MB
cpp-tcp-udp-server	80.6MB
erlang-tcp-udp-server	259.0MB
golang-tcp-udp-server	10.4MB
