Hey what is the best way to dockerize a node.js app using Typescript and Prisma without installing dev dependencies in the final image ? Do you have any tutorials for that ?

I don’t know of any tutorials, but you can use multi-stage builds where you generate

PrismaClient

in the first stage and then copy that to the final stage. Also having

prisma

in

devDependencies

is recommended where you only install production dependencies in the final stage.

not of the top of my head, let me have a dig

@Ryan Yes I have prisma in

devDependencies

but I did not find any way to generate prisma client and install only prod dependencies in the final image. @Dominic Hadfield Thanks for checking

I dont have any tutorials to hand but I reckon you build in ci that uses dev environment and then pushes a versioned image with the artefacts to the registry. Then you can take the version of that image from the registry of the output and serve that container
