#1about 6 minutes

Addressing the challenges of developing internal company tools

Internal tools are critical but often under-resourced, creating distribution challenges across different operating systems and programming languages.

#2about 8 minutes

Building an optimized container using a multi-step process

A multi-step build separates build-time dependencies from the final runtime image, resulting in a smaller and more secure container.

#3about 8 minutes

Reusing containerized tools across platforms and CI/CD pipelines

Standardized container images can be seamlessly reused across different operating systems like Windows and integrated into CI/CD workflows like GitLab CI.

#4about 5 minutes

Practical ideas for containerizing code and documentation tasks

Containers can encapsulate common development tasks like code linting, black-box testing, documentation generation, and spell checking for consistent execution.

#5about 10 minutes

Best practices for creating CLI tools and containers

Follow command-line interface guidelines, use Makefiles to standardize commands, and inspect image layers with tools like Dive to optimize builds.

#6about 3 minutes

Language-specific tips for building efficient container images

Employ language-specific strategies like Python virtual environments, Go's distroless images, and ShellCheck to create robust and minimal containers.

#7about 1 minute

Summary and key takeaways for containerized tooling

Wrapping command-line tools in containers is a highly productive way to distribute code, standardize workflows, and improve team collaboration.
