# ============================================================================
# MULTISTAGE DOCKERFILE (AFTER OPTIMIZATION)
# ============================================================================
# Key improvements:
# 1. Separate builder stage - build artifacts don't bloat final image
# 2. Strategic layer ordering - dependencies cached independently of code
# 3. Minimal runtime image - only what's needed to run the app
# 4. Faster builds through better caching - renv.lock changes rarely
# 5. Reduced final image size (~40-50% smaller)
# ============================================================================

# ============================================================================
# STAGE 1: Builder - Install dependencies
# ============================================================================
