In today’s fast-paced DevOps culture, containerization is more than just a trend, it's the engine powering cloud-native development. But there's a hidden truth: many development teams are unknowingly sabotaging their own workflows with poorly built container images.

Let’s be honest, when was the last time you audited your container build process?

If you’re facing:

Sluggish build times that slow down CI/CD

Excessively large images bloated with unnecessary dependencies

Security vulnerabilities that creep in unnoticed

Unstable deployments due to unmanaged layers

Then chances are, your image optimization strategy needs a revamp.

At Signiance, we believe that container images should be lean, secure, and scalable not just functional. From multi-stage builds and minimal base images to layer caching and dependency pinning, there’s a science (and some art) to building production-ready images.

In our latest blog, we break down:

  • What not to do while building images
  • Practical tips to reduce image size
  • Security best practices every engineer must follow
  • How to build images that scale reliably in production
