Sure thing. Stick to slim or scratch base images, drop all dev deps in a build stage, and keep the runtime image lean. Use Alpine for most services but be careful with musl; sometimes a tiny Debian‑slim wins. Turn off debugging, set log level to ERROR or use a side‑car logger if you need traces. For CPU, expose only the needed ports, drop any unused health‑checks, and let the orchestrator handle scaling. That keeps the container footprint small and the service low‑profile.

Sounds good, just double‑check the image size after each tweak and keep an eye on any unnecessary layers. That’ll keep things quiet and tight.
