Optimize Docker Build Cache

Reduce Docker build times through effective layer caching and build optimization.

When to Use

• Docker builds are slow due to repeated package installations
• Rebuilds reinstall all dependencies on every code change
• Image sizes are unnecessarily large
• CI/CD pipeline builds are a bottleneck

Inputs

• Required: Existing Dockerfile to optimize
• Optional: Target build time improvement
• Optional: Target image size reduction
