For my first real post of my new blog, let’s talk about multi-stage docker builds. This blog is built with the aid of just such a build.

In the case of my build, it helps me build a single end-product that’s uncluttered by extra build configuration and tooling.
Why multi-stage? Docker holds a place in the modern development pipeline for deployed applications similar to the role the classic Makefile has in building packaged applications.
