[DevOps] Docker Multi-Stage Production Build Optimization & Security Hardening

[blurbeast]

Overview & Background

Production Docker containers for FlowFi backend and frontend must be lightweight, fast to build, and hardened against container breakout vulnerabilities.

---

Technical Specification & Architecture

1. Backend Dockerfile Optimization (backend/Dockerfile):
   • Multi-stage build (Builder -> Production Runner).
   • Use minimal node:20-alpine base image.
   • Execute under non-root node user (USER node).
   • Reduce image size from $> 800\text{MB}$ to $< 150\text{MB}$.
2. Frontend Dockerfile Optimization (frontend/Dockerfile):
   • Next.js standalone output build (output: 'standalone' in next.config.ts).
   • Image size reduction to $< 120\text{MB}$.
3. Health Check Probes:
   • Add native Docker healthcheck instructions calling /health.

---

Target Files

• backend/Dockerfile
• frontend/Dockerfile
• docker-compose.yml

---

Acceptance Criteria

• Docker container images build cleanly with $< 150\text{MB}$ final size.
• Containers run as non-root user.
• Healthcheck probes report healthy status in container orchestrators.

Hello! I'd like to work on this issue.

Execution Plan for [DevOps] Docker Multi-Stage Production Build Optimization & Security Hardening:

• UI & Component Design: Build [DevOps] Docker Multi-Stage Production Build Optimization & Security Hardening with modular React/Next.js components, responsive layouts, and robust loading/error boundaries.
• Strict Typing & State: Ensure zero any types, smooth wallet state transitions, and responsive mobile/desktop rendering.
• Quality Gate: Include component tests (Vitest/Jest) and verify clean production build (pnpm build).

Why assign me?

• Proven Proof-of-Work: #1 contributor on Mova Store (28 merged Web3 PRs) and official ElizaOS contributor.
• Fast Turnaround: Dedicated to shipping a tested, production-grade PR within 12–24 hours.
• Zero Maintainer Burden: Self-documenting code with green CI and tests included so you don't spend time debugging.

Excited to contribute—please assign this to me and I'll push a clean PR shortly!
