A nice feature of Alpine Linux is that the package repository is a relatively straightforwardly-structured git repository containing build scripts for each package:
https://gitlab.alpinelinux.org/alpine/aports/
It's worth reading the contributor guide[1] before signing up and providing any fixes and improvements - and from there, hopefully it's a relatively familiar workflow for many developers.

I recently deployed a small fleet of Dell thin clients around my house to run zwavejs2mqtt[1] via docker. I decided to use Alpine because the machines have 2GB of ram and 8GB of eMMC storage and I figured Alpine would minimize resource usage. They're working great so far!

I've done the same alpine trick for static binaries but may I introduce you to musl-cross-make?
https://github.com/richfelker/musl-cross-make
Just burned out static toolchains that make me static binaries for all architectures gcc supports. Much like musl.cc but they suggest building your own and I do.
I use these toolchains on debian (/ anywhere a non-ancient linux kernel runs) to make static binaries, you can too!
Why don't more people use [distroless](https://github.com/GoogleContainerTools/distroless)?
Based on debian so no musl headaches but even lighter than alpine
I'm a big fan of Alpine Linux, and use it as a daily driver.
Here is my Alpine Linux minimalist desktop setup.

So I surveyed docker images in my personal use:
Postgres (Docker provided - https://hub.docker.com/_/postgres): Debian (with alternates for alpine or other debian versions)
Jellyfin (Developer provided - https://github.com/jellyfin/jellyfin/blob/master/Dockerfile): They use an alpine build step but the final distributed image is debian
Calibre-Web (Linuxserver provided - https://github.com/linuxserver/docker-calibre-web/blob/maste...): Ubuntu
Graylog (Developer provided - https://github.com/Graylog2/graylog-docker/blob/4.2/docker/o...): Debian
Vaultwarden (Developer provided - https://github.com/dani-garcia/vaultwarden/blob/main/docker/...): Debian (with alpine alternate available)
For professional use, our company mandates all images used are built off a common base image, which is Ubuntu based (my previous employer was similar, but used a Red Hat based image).
