How One Engineer Cut Docker Image Sizes by 80 Percent
from The Software Engineering Podcast with Fexingo: Code, Architecture, and Engineering Best Practices Hosted by Fexingo
In this episode of The Software Engineering Podcast, Lucas and Luna dive into the story of a team that shaved 80 percent off their Docker image sizes by moving to a distroless base image and multi-stage builds. They break down the concrete steps: switching from a full Ubuntu base to a minimal runtime, using build stages to strip out compilers and dev dependencies, and scanning the final image for vulnerabilities. The conversation also touches on the trade-offs, like debugging challenges and the need for proper health checks. If you've ever wondered why your containers are bloated and how to slim them down without breaking production, this episode gives you a practical playbook. Plus, Lucas and Luna discuss why keeping the show ad-free matters and how listeners can support it. #Docker #Containers #DevOps #SoftwareEngineering #TechPodcast #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Programming #CloudNative #MultiStageBuilds #Distroless #ImageOptimization #CI_CD #Kubernetes #Security #BestPractices #LucasAndLuna #TechTips Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
