Enable Docker BuildKit for faster image builds#62
Merged
Conversation
Enables BuildKit in both CI and local development: - Set DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 in GitHub Actions workflow - Set DOCKER_BUILDKIT=1 in Rakefile for local runs Benefits: - Faster image builds with improved layer caching - Better build output with progress information - Parallel build stage execution - More efficient use of build cache across runs - Better handling of multi-stage builds BuildKit is Docker's next-generation build system and is now the default in Docker Desktop and newer Docker versions.

Summary
Enables Docker BuildKit for improved build performance and caching in both CI and local development.
Changes
GitHub Actions Workflow
Added
DOCKER_BUILDKIT: 1environment variable to the test run step.Rakefile
Set
ENV['DOCKER_BUILDKIT'] = '1'at the top so it's enabled for all local test runs.What is BuildKit?
Docker BuildKit is Docker's next-generation build engine that provides:
BuildKit is now the default in Docker Desktop and is widely adopted.
Benefits
✅ Faster CI/CD - Improved caching reduces build times
✅ Better local experience - Faster iteration during development
✅ More efficient - Parallel stage execution when possible
✅ Future-proof - BuildKit is Docker's recommended build engine
Testing
✅ All tests pass with BuildKit enabled
✅ Verified both CI and local environments
✅ No behavioral changes to test execution
✅ Build output works correctly with BuildKit
