ko (tool for building go images)
last updated: Oct 20, 2023
ko is a simple, fast container image builder for golang applications.
It's ideal for use cases where your image contains a single Go application without any/many dependencies on the OS base image (e.g., no cgo, no OS package dependencies).
ko builds images by effectively executing go build on your local machine, and as such doesn't require docker to be installed. This can make it a good fit for lightweight CI/CD use cases.
