+## Backend + Frontend
+
+In this section, we test frontend container can cross-communicate with backend container.
+
+Steps:
+1. Comment out proxy container
+2. frontend has port 80 exposed; backend has port 5000 exposed;
+3. Run `docker compose build` & `docker compose up`
+4. Create a network: `docker network create mynetwork`
+5. Add containers into network
+   1. `docker network connect mynetwork backend`
+   2. `docker network connect mynetwork frontend`
+6. Inspect `mynetwork` has containers `docker network inspect mynetwork`
+7. Test network:
+   1. Enter frontend container: `docker exec -it frontend /bin/sh`
+   2. Make a request to backend: `curl http://backend:5000`
+   3. Get response `{"version": "1.0.0"}`
