## Problems

* Dockerfiles are hard and not 100% reproducible
* Buildpacks are reproducible but result in large single-arch images
* Nix has multiple ways of doing things

## Solutions

* Dagger as a CI solution
* Multistage docker images with distroless -> Small image, small attack surface
* Language specific solutions (`ki`, `jib`)
