This is the "Factory" pipeline—your engine for maximum CI/CD efficiency.
Its sole job? To build and compress your powerful "Locked Box" Docker image.
🔑 Key to Speed:
- Smart Trigger: It only runs when the Dockerfile changes, saving you time on every code commit.
- On-the-Fly Optimization: We use docker save | gzip -c > ... to compress the image while exporting it, making the final .tar.gz artifact lightning fast to upload and, crucially, download for the Assembly Line!
Build the image once, use it everywhere. That's the Factory mindset.

Stop wasting 2-3 minutes rebuilding your Docker image on every commit!
The secret to a fast pipeline is splitting your work into the "Factory & Assembly Line."
- The Factory: Runs rarely (only when your Dockerfile changes) to build the slow, reliable "Locked Box" image.
- The Assembly Line: Runs constantly (on every commit) but skips the Docker build entirely. It simply downloads the pre-built image from the Factory and uses it to instantly run your fast code tests.
The result? Your daily pipeline runs are dramatically faster, only executing the work that matters: testing your code.

Stop fighting "it broke on Monday" and "it works on my machine" bugs!
The "Locked Box" isn't just a container—it's your guarantee of pipeline sanity. Your Dockerfile creates an immutable environment that locks in PHP 8.3, all your extensions, and essential tools like acli for perfect, portable execution today, tomorrow, and a year from now.
By pre-baking your dependencies, you don't just get reliability; you get speed—eliminating the wasted minutes of running apt-get on every single job.
Ready to lock down your environment and debug CI failures locally in minutes?
