Docker Best Practices

Dockerfiles are the blueprint for container images. Creating optimized Dockerfiles is essential for reducing attack surface (security) and minimizing infrastructure costs (storage/bandwidth).

Multi-Stage Builds: This technique allows you to use a large image (with compilers/tools) for building the application, and then copy only the final binary/assets into a tiny, "distroless" or "alpine" image for production.

Layer Caching: Order matters. Always `COPY` your dependency files (package.json, requirements.txt) and run `install` before copying the rest of your source code. This ensures Docker can reuse cached layers when only code changes.
