Use when writing a Dockerfile or a CI/CD pipeline for a backend service — a multi-stage build (heavy builder → slim runtime), base images pulled through a dependency proxy / private registry, authenticating to private package registries during build and SCRUBBING those creds before the final stage, lockfile-first layer caching, purpose-specific images (app / DB-migration job / test), and a CI pipeline (install → lint → test → build → push → migrate → deploy) kept thin per repo by including one shared org template, with per-branch→environment deploy rules and secrets from CI variables (never baked in). Docker + GitLab CI reference, framework-flexible.

From the source SKILL.md

How a backend service is built into an image and shipped through CI/CD. Examples are Docker + GitLab CI with a Node/pnpm service; the principles port to any stack/CI. principle → ▸ Example → ▸ Other stacks. Branch→release flow itself is git-flow; DB migration rules are database-migrations; release backward-compat is release-safety — this skill is the build + pipeline mechanics.

What this skill does

Containerize And Ship A Service is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the backend sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/containerize-and-ship-a-service/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: Use when writing a Dockerfile or a CI/CD pipeline for a backend service — a multi-stage build (heavy builder → slim runtime), base images pulled through a dependency proxy / private registry, authenticating to private package registries during build and SCRUBBING those creds before the final stage, lockfile-first layer caching, purpose-specific images (app / DB-migration job / test), and a CI pipeline (install → lint → test → build → push → migrate → deploy) kept thin per repo by including one shared org template, with per-branch→environment deploy rules and secrets from CI variables (never baked in).
