Alpine uses a different C library, which breaks many precompiled binaries.
If your application relies on native extensions or copied binaries, they may not be compatible with Alpine’s environment. This is especially common with Python and Node dependencies.
Switching base images or compiling dependencies inside Alpine usually resolves it.
Takeaway: Base image choice affects binary compatibility more than people expect.
