I think it's great on the Raspberry Pi [0]. It boots quickly, has a low footprint and runs in diskless mode by default [1].

I most recently used Alpine and a RPi to make an appliance of sorts, that would wait for the SSID of my Olympus WiFi-enabled camera (it acts as an AP) to show up and then sync all new photos automatically [2].
