Posted on Sep 6 In this article we are going to have a look at creating a production grade docker image with Node.JS, TypeScript.We are also going to use the speedy web compiler to compile the source code blazing fast. Lets dive right in.Now break the steps and optimise the build image one by one.We're enabling pnpm using corepack. Your package.json should have "packageManager": "[email protected]". You can refer the complete package.json in the document below.--mount=type=cache: Tells Docker to mount a cache during the build process. This cache will store data across builds, improving build speed by reusing data.id=pnpm: This is an identifier for the cache. If multiple projects use the same identifier, they will share the same cache, although this could be risky due to possible data contamination between unrelated projects.target=/pnpm/store: Specifies where in the Docker image the cache should be stored.The image size is 160mb Comparing against my old simple docker setup. Old setup was based on a alpine image. The build image size was round 650mbA "distroless" image is a stripped-down container image that contains only the application and its runtime dependencies. Just your application dependencies and nothing else. No build tools, shell, package managers or anything. You can check that on the 4th stage. Thanks Google !SWC is a super-fast TypeScript / JavaScript compiler written in Rust. We can use SWC for both development and production environments as well. In this setup we are using swc to speed up the compilation time of both development and production. In development environment swc is used along with ts-node and in production we're using tswc, which compiles the files using swc Here is the complete DockerfileHere is the tsconfigHere is the package.jsonHere is the source code for this setup : https://github.com/JacobSamro/docker-typescript-pnpmTemplates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use.
