Remove service on docker-compose through overriding

You may have to switch to version: 3 to do this, I believe on version: 2 you can use the “scale” parameter but I’m not 100% sure.

Anyways, you can override the “replicas” parameter like this:

# docker-compose.prod.yml
version: "3"
services: 

  db_for_development:
    deploy:
      replicas: 0
