Hello!
I am currently working on building a platform based on serverless architecture. Since the platform is distributed in nature, I was wondering the role dockers could play in this. Essentially what I will have are micro service instances that are spawned upon the arrival of requests. I am unsure whether to use dockers to spawn the service instances within them, i.e have one docker image associated with one service type.
The problem I am observing is the usage of disk space. If I create a docker image associated with each service, and let us say I have around a 100 services, the disk space required to build these docker images is quite substantial (i.e min size of image is approx 80 mb, thus requiring 80 * 100 mb of space to store the docker images). I am wondering whether this is the way to go forward or is there some other solution that is far more effective and resource saving?
Thanks
