First look at Jib
As soon as Google’s blog post “Introducing Jib — build Java Docker images better” was online, all my channels went crazy about Jib. That was a bit surprising as Jib was started over one year ago but with this blog post this project rockets with more than 1000 new GitHub stars within one day. Crazy.
I got a lot asked yesterday how Jib compares to fabric8io/docker-maven-plugin (d-m-p) or fabric8io/fabric8-maven-plugin which includes d-m-p.
Let me try to shed some light on the differences and pro and cons of both approaches.
