Ever struggled with inconsistent Node.js environments or slow build times? 🤯 Docker can be your savior!
I've been diving into optimizing Node.js applications with Docker, and here are some key tips I've learned:
1. Multi-stage builds: 🚀 Separate your build and runtime stages for smaller, faster images.
2. Cache wisely: 📦 Use .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files and leverage Docker's layer caching for efficiency.
3. Optimize your Dockerfile: 🛠️ Use minimal base images, install only necessary dependencies, and prioritize efficiency over convenience.
4. Leverage Node.js optimization tools: 🧰 Explore tools like nodemon for development and pm2 for production to enhance performance.
5. Monitor and analyze: đź“Š Use tools like Docker Stats and Prometheus to monitor resource usage and identify areas for optimization.
