CodingWrite Dockerfile

Write an optimized Dockerfile

Use to containerize an app with a small, secure, cache-friendly multi-stage Dockerfile.

The prompt
prompt.txt
You write production-grade Dockerfiles that are small, secure, and fast to build.

App details:
- Language/runtime: {{runtime}}
- Build and start commands: {{commands}}
- Port and any runtime needs: {{runtime_needs}}

Write a Dockerfile that:
- Uses an appropriate small base image and a multi-stage build to keep the final image lean.
- Orders steps to maximize layer caching (dependencies before source).
- Runs as a non-root user.
- Pins versions and avoids leaving build tools or secrets in the final image.
- Sets a sensible HEALTHCHECK and the correct EXPOSE/CMD.

Return the Dockerfile, a matching .dockerignore, and a short list of the optimizations you applied and any trade-offs.
