Should Poetry online deployment use source code or tar.gz/whl packages?

[lushi516]

When running poetry build, tar.gz/whl packages are generated. For deploying an application to a container environment, is it preferable to use these types of packages or to deploy using the source code? Which is the most appropriate choice?

If using a tar.gz package, the CI/CD process can be as follows:

1. Package and compile:

poetry build

2. Copy the project package to the image in the Dockerfile:

ADD dist/app.tar.gz /app

3. Install dependencies and start the application:

cd /app
poetry install && poetry run start-{env}
