I switched to debian-slim a while ago and never looked back. The base may be bigger than Alpine, but not significantly after packages and frameworks are loaded. node:lts-slim is 75MB node:lts-alpine is 50MB Yes, 50% larger, but also has glibc for greater compatibility and can even be faster at runtime. I know Python containers tend to be faster on Debian than Alpine. So is 25MB really worth it? Especially when that 25MB is shared between multiple containers?

  From the hub page regarding -slim: > These tags are an experiment in providing a slimmer base (removing some extra files that are normally not necessary within containers, such as man pages and documentation), and are definitely subject to change.
