**[Runtime Node](https://github.com/Runtimes-Node/Runtime-Node)** is an open source, production-grade Docker base image tailored for executing [Node.js](https://github.com/topics/nodejs) applications. Managed by **[Runtimes-Node](https://github.com/Runtimes-Node)**, it provides developers with a strictly distroless runtime environment.

Unlike traditional Node.js base images, Runtime Node is assembled `FROM scratch`. It completely eliminates the operating system layer, shells, package managers, and system utilities, retaining only the exact binaries required by Node.js.

### Key Characteristics
* **Zero-Bloat:** Radically reduced to ~45 MB compressed.
* **Hardened Security:** Zero known vulnerabilities and a minimal attack surface.
* **Production Ready:** Pre-configured with `NODE_ENV=production` and `TZ=UTC`.
* **Multi-Platform:** Supports `linux/amd64` and `linux/arm64`.

This distroless guarantee ensures code is shipped securely with no unnecessary tools to exploit.
