+# Docker Size Optimization Guide
+
+This document explains the optimizations made to reduce your Docker container size from 2.3GB.
+
+## Key Issues Identified
+
+1. **Complete node_modules copied**: Original Dockerfile copied all dependencies including dev dependencies
+2. **No dependency pruning**: Many unnecessary files (tests, docs, cache) were included
+3. **Inefficient Next.js output**: Not using standalone mode which creates optimized bundles
+4. **Large base image**: Using full Node.js Alpine when distroless would be smaller
+
+## Optimization Strategies
+
+### 1. Current Optimized Dockerfile
+- **Expected size reduction**: ~60-70% (700MB-1GB)
+- Uses Next.js standalone output
+- Separates production dependencies
+- Cleans up unnecessary files
+- Better caching strategy
+
+### 2. Distroless Version (Dockerfile.optimized)
+- **Expected size reduction**: ~80-85% (300-500MB)
+- Uses Google's distroless base image
+- Most secure option (no shell, minimal attack surface)
+- Smallest possible size
+
+## Build Instructions
+
+### Option 1: Use optimized Dockerfile (recommended for most cases)
+```bash
+docker build -t your-app:optimized .
+```
+
+### Option 2: Use distroless version (smallest size)
+```bash
+docker build -f Dockerfile.optimized -t your-app:distroless .
+```
+
+## Additional Optimizations
+
+### 1. .dockerignore improvements
+Add these entries to your .dockerignore:
+```
+**/.git
+**/node_modules
+**/.next
+**/coverage
+**/.nyc_output
+**/test
+**/tests
+**/__tests__
+**/*.test.js
+**/*.test.ts
+**/*.spec.js
+**/*.spec.ts
+**/README.md
+**/CHANGELOG.md
+**/.github
+**/docs
+**/examples
+```
+
+### 2. Package.json optimization
+Consider removing unused dependencies:
+- Run `npx depcheck` to find unused packages
+- Move dev-only packages to devDependencies
+- Use tree-shaking friendly imports
+
+### 3. Next.js bundle analysis
+```bash
+ANALYZE=true yarn build
+```
+
+## Security Benefits
+- Runs as non-root user
+- Minimal attack surface with distroless
+- No shell access in production
+- Updated base images
+
+## Health Check Optimization
+- Increased interval from 5s to 30s (reduces overhead)
+- Proper signal handling with dumb-init
+
+## Expected Results
+- **Original**: ~2.3GB
+- **Optimized**: ~700MB-1GB (70% reduction)
+- **Distroless**: ~300-500MB (85% reduction)
