How to deploy N microservices from different repositories using docker-compose?

Question

Continuous Integration

Hey!

I went around a lot of articles, reviewed a lot of conferences, and so far there is no understanding of how to most correctly deploy a microservice infrastructure.

So, what we have:
- N microservices, some of which communicate with each other via HTTP
- N repositories equal to the number of microservices
- Nginx as a proxy server
- Ordinary services in the form of redis or mysql behind + several admin panels
- docker-compose in combat and test environments for orchestration (so far)
- A huge and heavy repository with a bunch of configs, which is responsible for the deployment process of each microservice (in my opinion, it is illogical)

Question: Can it be simplified? Are there any good practices for orchestrating microservices on remote hosts with docker-compose? How to make sure that each repository (microservice) is responsible only for itself, but in the end it is part of the same infrastructure?

Thank you!
