Description

Currently v0.16.0 indexer-agent docker image size is 2.6GB. NodeJS runtime (base image) is only 55MB.
Current image contains rust compile and other stuff not required in runtime, as far as I understand.

Big images makes image pulling/pushing slow and uses a lot of space on disk. It would be cool if it's possible to minify image at least to 1GB size

Research direction

Inspect the Docker image build configuration for the v0.16.0 indexer-agent image and examine which layers contain Rust compilation and other build-time content. Done means producing a runtime image no larger than about 1GB while retaining the required indexer-agent functionality.
