It’s extremely slow to build Docker containers on app platform. My container takes about 2 minutes to build locally, but takes over 30 minutes on app platform. It takes over 10 minutes to install the Ruby bundle and another 5 minutes to install the JS dependencies (from yarn). It’s a bit faster when the layers are cached, but it seems like the cache expires after a day or so, which requires a full rebuild of the docker containers.
