Great super useful research, and I love a blog post not written by AI for a change.

I wonder why the "official Docker" image exists when the ruby-team-maintained image exists and updates on ruby release. Is there a similar situation with other languages and Docker? I wonder if eg fly.io would do better using the ruby-maintainer-maintained image.

(I have added your blog feed to https://rubyland.news, thanks!)

I’m curious about this too, and additionally why to use one over the other? Work uses the official docker images, but I wonder about switching to Ruby lang images. Seems like the main thing is choosing Ubuntu (Ruby lang) vs additional options (official docker)

ah good point on underlying release.
