Slim Images with Multi-Stage Builds
Cut image size by separating build and runtime layers.
Big Images Hurt
A bloated image is slow to push, pull, and start, and it carries more to patch. Multi-stage builds ship only what you actually need.
The Core Idea
You use one stage to build and a second clean stage to run. Build tools stay behind, so the final image stays small.
