I am successfully using yesod in my open source security container scanner. Currently, I use multiple services (all running yesod) which is very fast but each docker image is huge compared to other web servers (say python flask, ruby rails, php laravel which are all around 1GB).

$ docker image ls

My yesod endpoints receive and return json files, they don’t generate *.html files, and don’t use any database. Is there any way to make the docker image(s) smaller? The Dockerfile and *.cabal file are from this GitHub repo
