 ## Docker Build Optimization
-Three Dockerfile variants:
-- **Dockerfile**: Alpine base with ffmpeg (~50MB)
-- **Dockerfile.minimal**: Scratch base, binary only (~12MB)
-- **Dockerfile.whisper**: Includes Whisper models and dependencies
-
-All use:
-- Multi-stage builds (builder not in final image)
-- Static binary compilation with CGO
+
+### Fast Deployment Images (Under 5 minutes)
+- **Dockerfile.faster-whisper**: FasterWhisper with GPU support (~2GB, 4x faster transcription)
+- **Dockerfile.rocm**: AMD GPU via ROCm prebuilt images (7x performance improvement)
+- **Dockerfile.jetson**: ARM64 Jetson with TensorRT optimization
+- **Dockerfile.whisper-cuda**: NVIDIA CUDA maximum performance
+
+### Traditional Build Images (ccache optimized)
+- **Dockerfile**: Alpine base with ffmpeg (~50MB, ccache enabled)
+- **Dockerfile.whisper-cuda**: NVIDIA CUDA maximum performance (ccache enabled)
+
+All images feature:
+- Multi-stage builds with ccache for 80-90% faster rebuilds
+- BuildKit cache mounts for persistent compilation cache
 - Non-root user for security
-- hadolint ignore directives for unpinned packages (DL3018)
+- GPU acceleration support
 
 ## GitHub Actions Workflows
 - **CI**: Tests on Go 1.23/1.24, linting, security scanning
