This is an opportunity for enterprising OSS contributors -- by virtue of being written in Go, converting their current Dockerfile to one that uses multi-stage builds should be simple and the resulting image would be as minimal as they come.

Example golang multi-stage build: https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/blob/master/cmd/query/Dockerfile https://github.com/jaegertracing/jaeger/blob/master/cmd/quer...

  With the caveat that it doesn't build the app inside container, so the multi stage build is kind of underutilized here.

    You almost certainly want to build the app inside a container, but probably not the same container that result from the build. [ed: well maybe not for a simple go project, as go has great cross compilation support. But if there's a bit of Javascript/(s)css/static resource munging - a container with a predictable build environment might become appealing. ]

      Isn't this the purpose of multi stage builds? To have one stage for building it and another, from scratch, to run it?
      - SEJeff 8y ago
        It is one of the purposes, yes. The idea being that you don't need build artifacts in containers which run the application.
