@anayden This is awesome, thank you! Splitting up the image into 2 would really help iterate faster and I like how you moved software versions into variables 👏👏👏

Just wondering if there could be a race situation 🚗🏎️ when a commit changes both the base Dockerfile and the python Dockerfile. Then there would be 2 concurrent GitHub workflows building 2 images, and the main workflow could theoretically pull an old base Docker image because the new one would not be ready yet. That could lead to some tricky bugs! 🤔

Is this a problem or am I missing something? It looks like it is possible to connect workflows but I have not used this before.

Also the automatic checks were not successful because of some Slack secrets. Do you know how to fix it or I am happy to investigate myself?

Thanks again! You identified a major pain point and proposed a nice fix, so great stuff! 😎🚀
