    Azure Kubernetes Service

  • Funnily enough, for a while images with alpine base images were all but broken on Azure Kubernetes Service due to a bug that would cause up to 5 second delays when making DNS lookups using Musl's network runtime. We had to change all of our alpine images to debian-based, and the latency went away, at the cost of a few megabytes of image size.

  • distroless

    🥑 Language focused docker images, minus the operating system.

  • You should check Google’s distroless.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
