Examples that come to my mind include Docker, Podman, nerdctl, Terraform and Kubernetes.
Is there any obvious advantage that GoLang offers, making it so popular for building these tools?
For image and layer manipulation, crane is awesome - as is the underlying go-containerregistry library. It lets you add new layers, or edit any metadata (env vars, labels, entrypoint, etc) in existing images. You can also "flatten" an image with multiple layers into a single layer. Additionally you can "rebase" an image (re-apply your changes onto a new/updated base image). It does all this directly in the registry,…

Is there any performance benefit to having fewer layers? My understanding is that there's no gain by merging layers as the size of the image remains constant.

some startup performance savings in fewer http requests to fetch the image. small for sure but it's something?
Dive is great. Tools like that are critical for both learning and developing confidence on what you are precisely building/shipping. Dredge is another tool to look at. I use it for diffing layers. https://github.com/mthalman/dredge/blob/main/docs/commands/i...
It really does sound amazing. Would have needed this when you guys (hn) and reddit helped me figure out what a rogue Raspberry Pi was doing in our server closet https://blog.haschek.at/2019/the-curious-case-of-the-RasPi-i...

I use it to see what random scripts one is encouraged to pipe into bash would do to a system.

A dumb question: Why are most of the container/infrastructure tools written in GoLang? Examples that come to my mind include Docker, Podman, nerdctl, Terraform and Kubernetes. Is there any obvious advantage that GoLang offers, making it so popular for building these tools?
