Docker layer caching is broken by this change.
Moving go mod download after COPY . /app/ breaks Docker's layer caching optimization. Now, any application code change invalidates the COPY layer, forcing dependencies to re-download on every build even when go.mod/go.sum haven't changed.
Best practice: copy only dependency files first, download modules, then copy the rest of the code.
🔎 Proposed fix to restore layer caching
WORKDIR /app
-COPY . /app/
+COPY go.mod go.sum /app/
RUN go mod download
+COPY . /app/
RUN go build -o external-secrets main.goThis ensures go mod download is cached unless go.mod or go.sum changes, dramatically speeding up builds when only application code is modified.

‼️ IMPORTANT
Carefully review the code before committing. Ensure that it accurately replaces the highlighted code, contains no missing lines, and has no issues with indentation. Thoroughly test & benchmark the code to ensure it meets the requirements.

Dockerfile.standalone Changes
Modified the builder stage's dependency handling:
go.modandgo.sumbefore dependency downloadCOPY . /app/), then executeRUN go mod downloadThis simplifies the build process but removes a caching optimization that previously prevented cache invalidation when only source code changed.
