The Talk

What better way to begin spring (cleaning!) than tidy up all that unnecessary clutter in your Docker images!

Nev Stokes of Postcode Lottery is here to talk you through the results of months of experimenting with building Docker images, showing what you can achieve by taking control of your build process.

Learn how to build tiny custom Docker images for your PHP projects that are more secure and performant.

Featuring:

• Building PHP from up-to-date source files
• Multistage Docker techniques
• Compiler flags, the ELF format and binary packing
• Speeding things up with Profile Guided Optimisation
• Creating stripped-back base images with Buildroot

And possibly:

• Orchestrating a development environment with a Makefile and Docker Compose
• Converting development environment to yield production images

We look forwards to seeing you there!
