Minimus rationale for image pairs
Minimus is centered around the understanding that developers have different priorities in different contexts. In production, security outweighs convenience. During development, however, efficiency, speed, and developer experience are of greater concern and need to be optimized. Minimus makes it possible to enjoy the best of both worlds without sacrificing either goal. Minimus optimizes both security and developer experience by delivering a hybrid solution. Every Minimus image version is comprised of a complementary pair:- Production image, for example
nginx:latest
- Dev image, for example
nginx:latest-dev
