Slimtoolkit Or Any Similar

Has anyone here ever used Slimtoolkit or any similar app? I think there are a few of them out there that claim lighter containers and thus faster load times.

I came across it while doing some reading. It intrigues me. Do these apps actually work or is it just SoftRam v2? Is the end result safe for production?

I have never built a Docker container before, however, why make them ‘bloated’ in the first place?

There’s a lot of these out there. They mostly work by using tricks to reduce the layers in the results image with known tweaks to how they are built. They remove things included in the final image that aren’t used, essentially. Dockerslim is another that is popular. They don’t impact security in a negative way.
