There are another base images from google that are smaller than the base images and come handy when deploying applications that runs on single binary.
> Distroless images are very small. The smallest distroless image, gcr.io/distroless/static-debian11, is around 2 MiB. That's about 50% of the size of alpine (~5 MiB), and less than 2% of the size of debian (124 MiB).
