Because it's tiny, I tend to default to Alpine and then move away from it where necessary. Rather than worrying about potential CPU performance requirements upfront - premature optimisation and all that.
- mikepurvis 7y agoIsn't there an argument that using Alpine instead of something like Ubuntu is premature optimization for space?
- akvadrako 7y agoIt's faster in terms of development time. Faster to install packages and to push to docker repos.
- icebraining 7y agoWhy? You should only need to push the base image once. Then only upper layers will have to be pushed.
- draw_down 7y agoOptimization is only premature when other people do it. :)
- emilfihlman 7y agoMaking it smaller than necessary is a bigger premature optimisation, though. Rather than worrying about potential disk space issues upfront just use glibc and everything works fast and fine.
