We noticed that the image size could be greatly reduced by using a smaller base image. This migrates the base image to node:12-buster-slim, which provides the same functionality but shrinks the image size from 1.5GB to 720MB. Also, the apt-cache gets cleaned up after package installation to avoid keeping it in a layer of the Docker image. This also updates the image to the latest Node version 12.
