Single-stage build
Your team is working on containerizing your applications and has had some success at moving everything over to Docker images. Unfortunately, the size of the containers is taking a considerable amount of transfer and is causing difficulty for some beta customers. Your team lead asks you to look at the configuration and get a feel for the sizing of the current containerized applications.
NOTE: This application is built using the Go programming language - your team lead does not expect you to modify any of the Go source code, simply to use Docker to create the containers as necessary.
