Recently I started working on a microservices project, as a DevOps engineer my responsibility was to ensure smooth build and release of the project. One of the challenges that I was facing was the image building process of the projects was painfully slow. Following true Opstree spirit of continuous improvement I started exploring how I can fix this problem and finally got a decent success, I was able to reduce docker image build time from 4 minutes to 20 seconds. In this blog, I would like to showcase various ways through which image building can be reduced drastically.
