Read Original

This third article in a series on reducing Docker image size focuses on Alpine Linux. It compares the massive size of a Debian-based Python image (~614MB) to a minimal Alpine base (~4MB) and an Alpine-based Python image (~72MB). It provides a practical example of building an image with Alpine using the `apk` package manager.
