GitLab CI services examples

The services keyword defines a Docker image that runs during a job linked to the Docker image that the image keyword defines. This allows you to access the service image during build time.

The service image can run any application, but the most common use case is to run a database container, for example:

• Using MySQL
• Using PostgreSQL
• Using Redis
