I remember there were some performance-related posts a while ago, about alpine running in docker, recommending people to use debian/ubuntu instead:

Slow alpine posts: - https://pythonspeed.com/articles/alpine-docker-python/ - https://superuser.com/questions/1219609/why-is-the-alpine-do...

Pro alpine post: - https://nickjanetakis.com/blog/benchmarking-debian-vs-alpine...

I wonder if this still holds water.
