Best Docker Container in Swift
summary
Compares Docker images for server-side Swift built on Ubuntu 14.04 vs 16.04 by creating separate build vs runtime containers (build images include compilers; runtime images omit them). Benchmarks with 10 concurrent connections and increasing request counts show negligible latency difference between bases for GET and POST, while image sizes are smaller on Ubuntu 16.04. Recommends 16.04 LTS now and switching to 18.04 after its 2018-04-26 release; Dockerfiles and bench repo are published.
