Docker multi-stage builds

Docker best practice:

Use multistage builds to reduce the size of the production image.

# temp stage
FROM python:3.9-slim as builder

WORKDIR /app

ENV PYTHONDONTWRITEBYTECODE 1
ENV PYTHONUNBUFFERED 1

RUN apt-get update && \
    apt-get install -y --no-install-recommends gcc

COPY requirements.txt .
RUN pip wheel --no-cache-dir --no-deps --wheel-dir /app/wheels -r requirements.txt


# final stage
FROM python:3.9-slim

WORKDIR /app

COPY --from=builder /app/wheels /wheels
COPY --from=builder /app/requirements.txt .

RUN pip install --no-cache /wheels/*
