docker-patterns

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps developers containerize applications using Docker by applying proven patterns that reduce image size, speed up builds, and improve security.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multi-stage builds to minimize image size and improve cache efficiency
• Layer and cache optimization for faster rebuilds
• Secure production defaults: non-root users, restricted file permissions, and minimal base images
• Practical workflows for development, testing, and production deployment

Quick Start

Begin by reviewing the provided Docker patterns and adapt them to your project. Then implement small, incremental changes to Dockerfiles, build and test locally, and iterate toward a production-ready container image.
