This repo provides an example of building minimalist docker build for Go lang based microservice.
So the most interesting part is to observe:
Dockerfile represents 2-stage building process. First stage implements
minimalistic go executable build and second one, which is release stage
creates minimalistic zero-size container to run under docker with a single
pre-built executable inside.
Makefile provides a basic command set to automate local and docker builds
of microservice.
With current docker build implementation it results into 1.66 MB image
size production using scratch zero-size image with a packed by upx
statically compiled executable inside.
Is it possible to have less?
Author would be greatly appreciated for any suggestions and contributions of further optimizations and improvements to this example.
