1GB is plenty for almost every case I've seen, 10-20x the need. Yes if you're running a repeated full OS underneath (hello VMs) then it'll waste more. I run (regular) .NET (8) in <50mb, Javascript in <50mb, PHP in <50mb. C, Perl, Go in <20mb. Unless you're talking about disk space.. runtimes take space.

Docker is not VMs. Other people have stated this. > I run (regular) .NET (8) in <50mb, Javascript in <50mb, PHP in <50mb. C, Perl, Go in <20mb. Good for you. I run web services that are heavier. The container has nothing to do with it.
