How Distroless Images Cut Rust Service Startup from 8 s to 1.2 s

After building a fast Rust microservice, the team discovered Kubernetes pods took 8‑10 seconds to start due to Alpine‑based images; switching to minimal Distroless containers and static linking reduced the image size from 40 MB to 6.7 MB, cut cold‑start time to ~1.2 seconds, lowered memory usage, and improved security.
