• Optimising Docker Layers for Better Caching with Nix
  • Efficient layering is hard because there are no rules

  • Think graphs, not layers
  • Flattening Graphs to Layers
• Docker images from Nix
• nix-snapshotter - Instead of downloading image layers, software packages come directly from a Nix store.
