As the title says. I build containers for my platforms/clients/myself-selfhosted@home and you would not believe how much smaller you can get your images. Here’s an example when slimming one of my images:

cmd=build info=results status='MINIFIED' by='18.97X' size.original='1.0 GB' size.optimized='55 MB'

That’s a Python app that I didn’t have to do multi-staged build with docker because of the Slim command. And it’s a working version of that app that I’m using today.

Same for one of my flutter apps that I thought it was as small as it could be:

cmd=build info=results status='MINIFIED' by='1.98X' size.original='66 MB' size.optimized='33 MB'

TLDR: slim your container images!! https://github.com/slimtoolkit/slim

    Fair point! What I’ve done in my app to test out and ensure it works is a proper health endpoint that tests the use-cases of the app. So far it has been very good on keeping everything that I need on slimming.
