Internal tools are critical but often under-resourced, creating distribution challenges across different operating systems and programming languages.
A multi-step build separates build-time dependencies from the final runtime image, resulting in a smaller and more secure container.
Standardized container images can be seamlessly reused across different operating systems like Windows and integrated into CI/CD workflows like GitLab CI.
Containers can encapsulate common development tasks like code linting, black-box testing, documentation generation, and spell checking for consistent execution.
Follow command-line interface guidelines, use Makefiles to standardize commands, and inspect image layers with tools like Dive to optimize builds.
Employ language-specific strategies like Python virtual environments, Go's distroless images, and ShellCheck to create robust and minimal containers.
Wrapping command-line tools in containers is a highly productive way to distribute code, standardize workflows, and improve team collaboration.
