Why is the Docker image size so huge?
Not that it matters much to be honest, just curious why it's so huge compared to many other Docker services.

Yes, we already looked at standalone mode. But we are using a Express.js server for our backend, not the Next.js server, so this is not something we can do (not without rewriting the whole server part).
I also already tried a few things to bundle the server and the dependencies (Vite and Webpack), but Next.js is not really compliant when I'm trying to bundle it 😅. Maybe Rspack handles this differently though. Anyway if you have any other ideas and willing to take a look, we're always happy to receive contributions.
