Super Fast Rust Docker Builds With Super Small Images Using Multi-Stage and Cargo-Chef - Rustlang

Learn how to optimize Rust Docker builds, reducing image sizes from over 2GB to just 27MB and cutting build times from minutes to seconds. Explore multi-stage builds, Google's Distroless images, and Cargo Chef for efficient dependency management in this comprehensive tutorial. Master techniques for creating secure, lightweight Rust Docker images using least privilege users and discover how to overcome slow compilation issues. Follow along as an Actix-web server is used to demonstrate these powerful optimization strategies for Rustlang projects.
