Docker image slimming
Iteratively shrink a Docker image under a size target using multi-stage builds, smaller base images, and layer cleanup, verifying the container still boots each turn.
Implementation note
The boot-and-healthcheck verification is essential; slim images that fail at runtime are worse than fat ones. Set a target that suits your stack.
More devops loops
Check whether the deploy finished and summarize what changed
A 5-minute watch loop that polls whether a deploy has finished and, once it lands, summarizes what changed. It is a read-only status watcher rather than an agent driving toward a finish condition.
Deploy-poll loop
A hands-free ops loop that polls your deploy every two minutes, runs the smoke test the moment it goes live, and stops with a report if any check fails.
Capture a post-release baseline
Run the standard benchmarks against a finished release and record a reproducible baseline for future comparison.
