redis:latest uses glibc though? looks like glibc 2.28. Yeah - if you're targeting a single platform for a single app it's probably much easier, and DIY is probably even easier with Arch or Gentoo. I've been in the "business" of maintaining multiple systems/libraries (mysql, boost, numpy, scipy, matplotlib, even the JDK) over multiple platforms (centos+devtoolset, macos, clang) and it's a nightmare. I've also, of course, done lots of custom builds of nginx/openresty for specific things which isn't so bad. We've since moved on to conda-forge for getting most our third parties, which moved faster than the defaults channel even though the libc version compatibility is very old (but improving). Compilers update more frequently than glibc there, but compiler upgrades there are still deliberate.
