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
Common Causes
- Cascade combined build stages, breaking layer caching strategy
- Cascade added large dependencies/resources to base layer instead of final layer
- Build arguments or environment variables not passed correctly
- 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.

Jacek Rozanski
Senior PHP/Symfony developer and DevOps engineer with 20+ years of professional experience, running opcode.pl (web development agency, est. 2004).
Day job: I'm the sole backend developer at merketing company where I own and maintain 11 PHP/Symfony microservices on AWS (ECS Fargate, RDS, S3, CloudFront), handle the full CI/CD pipeline (Bitbucket Pipelines, Docker), and manage monitoring with Sentry and CloudWatch. These services handle high request volumes in production every month.
What I bring to AI-built apps:
- I audit and fix security issues (OWASP methodology), performance bottlenecks, and architectural problems in codebases generated by Cursor, Claude Code, Lovable, Bolt, and v0
- I refactor AI-generated prototypes into production-grade applications with proper error handling, testing, and clean architecture (SOLID, DDD, hexagonal architecture)
- I set up the infrastructure AI tools don't touch: AWS hosting, CI/CD pipelines, automated deployments, database optimization, monitoring, and alerting
- I integrate external services: payment providers, email systems, partner APIs, SSO/auth
Tech stack: PHP 8.x, Symfony, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MySQL, Docker, AWS (ECS, RDS, S3, SQS/SNS, CloudFront), Terraform, Supabase. I also use AI tools daily (Claude Code, Cursor) in my own workflow, so I understand both the strengths and the gaps in AI-generated code.
Based in Poland (CET timezone). Available for async work and calls during EU/US business hours.

Hey I'm Sage! Im a Boston area software engineer who grew up in South Florida. Ive worked at a ton of cool places like a telehealth kidney care startup that took part in a billion dollar merger (Cricket health/Interwell health), a boutique design agency where I got to work on a ton of exciting startups including a photography education app, a collegiate Esports league and more (Philosophie), a data analytics as a service startup in Cambridge (MA) as well as at Phillips and MIT Lincoln Lab where I designed and developed novel network security visualizations and analytics. I've been writing code and furiously devoted to using computers to make people’s lives easier for about 17 years. My degree is in making computers make pretty lights and sounds. Outside of work I love hip hop, the Celtics, professional wrestling, magic the gathering, photography, drumming, and guitars (both making and playing them)

Get HelpFrequently Asked Questions
How do I optimize Docker builds?
Use multi-stage builds, order layers by change frequency (stable to volatile), leverage build cache with .dockerignore.
How do I increase memory for Gradle in Docker?
Set ENV GRADLE_OPTS="-Xmx2048m" in Dockerfile or pass via docker build command.
