Docker streamlines application deployment, but optimizing performance and security is key to maximizing efficiency. This guide explores best practices such as reducing image size with multi-stage builds, leveraging caching for faster builds, and setting resource limits to prevent excessive CPU and memory usage. We also cover security enhancements like minimizing privileges, using secure base images, and implementing container health checks. Whether you're managing local development or large-scale production environments, these optimizations will help you run Docker containers more securely, efficiently, and reliably.
