Summary

  • Restructured manager and feeder Dockerfiles to copy only Cargo.toml manifests from sibling workspace members instead of the full source tree, with stub source files for workspace resolution
  • Added per-Dockerfile .dockerignore files (BuildKit feature) to exclude irrelevant directories from each service's build context
  • Added a cargo fetch --locked layer that caches dependency downloads separately from source compilation, improving rebuild times

How it works

Each Rust Dockerfile now:

  1. Copies only Cargo.toml files from all workspace members (not source code)
  2. Creates stub main.rs/lib.rs for members it doesn't compile
  3. Runs cargo fetch --locked to cache dependencies in a separate layer
  4. Copies only the real source for shared/ and the target service
  5. Builds only the target package

The Dockerfile.dockerignore files ensure Docker only sends relevant files as build context — the manager build excludes frontend/ and feeder/src/, and vice versa. This eliminates I/O contention between concurrent builds.

Test plan

  • Build manager image: docker build -t manager:test -f manager/Dockerfile .
  • Build feeder image: docker build -t feeder:test -f feeder/Dockerfile .
  • Build frontend image: docker build -t frontend:test frontend
  • Build all three in parallel to verify no contention
  • Deploy to minikube and verify services start correctly

Closes #41

The cargo fetch --locked step downloads ALL workspace dependencies
including transitive ones requiring edition2024 (unsupported by Rust
1.83). Remove it and let cargo build handle downloads for only the
target package's dependencies.

Use per-service cache IDs (e.g. id=manager-cargo-registry) so
parallel builds don't contend over shared BuildKit cache mounts.
