This is some great advice, manage to reduce my deploy & build time by half, but most importantly, understand better what I'm doing. As a Docker casual user, most resources out there never take the time to break it down like that. I remember reading about using the same Docker image for local dev too, so you're ISO in both environments, but it requires some more steps to watch for changes. Any plans to write an article about that?

Thanks for the feedback, I actually don't use Docker images locally (except for services), I never found it particularly easy to do especially with hot-reload, node_modules, etc.

I wish in 2023 we had the tools to have a unified local-prod environment but seems like it's not for today
