Optimize Python Docker Images with Multi-Stage Builds

Docker tip that every Python developer should know: 🐳 Always use multi-stage builds for production Python images. Stage 1 (builder): Install all deps, compile extensions Stage 2 (runtime): Copy only what you need Result: My AI agent image went from 1.2GB to 180MB. Smaller images mean faster deploys and smaller attack surface. Bonus: combine with `uv` instead of pip for 10x faster dependency resolution. What Docker optimization has saved you the most time? #Docker #Python #DevOps #CloudNative #BackendDev
