+## Image size

+We recommend to keep your image size **below 1GB** to ensure faster deployment and better cold start performances.
+
+### Tips for keeping image size down
+
+* Use lightweight distribution like *Alpine*
+* Minimize layers and unnecessary dependencies
+* Clean up temp files and cache (e.g., `rm -rf /var/lib/apt/lists/*` in Debian-based images)
