Clarify database backend setup in Docker Compose quickstart documentation #8727

@dmytrivv2

Description

@dmytrivv2

Customer feedback indicates that the current Docker Compose quickstart documentation is unclear when configuring different database backends for the full Docker Compose distribution.

We should update the Docker Compose documentation to make the database setup easier to follow. Instead of only describing the generic workflow of creating a docker-compose.override.yaml and copying backend-specific examples, add
clearer sections showing how to run each supported database type.

The update should clarify whether users need to adjust individual application.yaml files for the full Docker Compose setup, or whether the full Docker Compose example should be aligned more closely with the light Docker Compose
configuration.

Acceptance Criteria

  • The Docker Compose quickstart clearly explains how to configure each supported database backend.
  • The documentation distinguishes between light and full Docker Compose setups where needed.
  • Users can understand whether they need to modify application.yaml files or only use Docker Compose overrides.
  • The page is updated here:
