Docker supports multi-platform builds, and many popular images have built in support for both architecture via their manifest. In my experience this only breaks in your own images where you download and install some package with a URL with a hardcoded architecture. Docker does provide environment variables you can use to automatically download the right file depending on the target architecture, but the syntax is very cumbersome. That said, yes using something on the JVM is much more convenient, but that’s not possible if you’re not using a JVM language.
