Node.js Docker: Multi-Stage Builds

Using Docker

Node.js Docker containers package apps with multi-stage builds.

Introduction to Node.js Docker

Docker is a powerful tool for developing, shipping, and running applications inside containers. When it comes to Node.js applications, Docker allows developers to encapsulate their applications and dependencies into a single unit, making deployments more predictable and scalable.

In this guide, we'll explore how to create Docker containers for Node.js applications using multi-stage builds to optimize the image size and streamline the deployment process.
