You should look into multistage docker builds, that lets you still use a full fat image for your build but then leave all the build tools out of your final image

I liked jpetazzo's post on the subject but there are plenty to choose from https://www.ardanlabs.com/blog/2020/02/docker-images-part1-r...

Someone else suggested the same thing actually. Easy to get lazy when it "just works" and internet is 1gig home and office - you can see how bloat just builds up.
