Node.js Docker Multi-Stage Build Project

📜 Description

This project demonstrates how to use Docker multi-stage builds to optimize a Node.js application. Multi-stage builds help reduce the image size by separating the build environment from the runtime environment.

The project serves a basic "Hello World" API using Express.js and includes Dockerization to ensure the application is lightweight and production-ready.

🚀 Features

• Node.js with Docker Multi-Stage Builds: Separate build and runtime stages to create smaller images.
• Lightweight Production Image: Uses node:18-slim to minimize the final image size.
• Portability: Easily deployable as a containerized application.
