Cascade Modified Dockerfile - Docker Build Timeout

Docker build takes excessive time or fails with OOM errors after Cascade modified the Dockerfile. The multi-stage build was restructured inefficiently, causing large intermediate layers or missing cache optimization.

Container builds now fail in CI/CD pipelines due to timeout or resource constraints.

Error Messages You Might See

Step 15/25 : ERROR: cannot allocate memory Docker build exceeded timeout 3600 seconds Gradle out of memory: Java heap space
Step 15/25 : ERROR: cannot allocate memoryDocker build exceeded timeout 3600 secondsGradle out of memory: Java heap space

Common Causes

  1. Cascade combined build stages, breaking layer caching strategy
  2. Cascade added large dependencies/resources to base layer instead of final layer
  3. Build arguments or environment variables not passed correctly
  4. Gradle build inside Docker runs without proper JVM memory settings

How to Fix It

Review git diff of Dockerfile for structural changes. Ensure multi-stage builds leverage caching - dependencies layer should rebuild rarely. Move expensive operations as late as possible. Set Docker build memory limits: docker build --memory=2gb. Consider using .dockerignore to exclude unnecessary files.
