Running Kong on distroless

[aneesh404]

From the images present in Kong's dockerhub and code on this repo, I can't see any efforts done for running Kong on a distroless base image. I tried doing this for my use case and it seems to work. Is it of any value to create a PR to this repo?

Additionally, Can anyone share their findings on how it performed for you (if you've tried) and how can I benchmark the performance (except for using K6s for load testing).

hi @aneesh404. Interestingly, we're also evaluating a Kong distroless build. Can you share a gist of this dockerfile?
I'm thinking there might be value to your PR, as a lot of enterprises have tight regulations and have officially adopted distroless base images.

Hi @badri

you can check the Dockerfile here at #721 . Sorry it took a while to get around pushing it.
