Hadolint vs Microcontainers: What are the differences?

Hadolint: A Static Analysis Tool for Dockerfiles in Haskell. A smarter Dockerfile linter that helps you build best practice Docker images. The linter is parsing the Dockerfile into an AST and performs rules on top of the AST. It is standing on the shoulders of Shellcheck to lint the Bash code inside RUN instructions; Microcontainers: Tiny, Portable Docker Containers. A Microcontainer contains only the OS libraries and language dependencies required to run an application and the application itself. Nothing more. Rather than starting with everything but the kitchen sink, start with the bare minimum and add dependencies on an as needed basis.

Hadolint and Microcontainers belong to "Container Tools" category of the tech stack.

Hadolint and Microcontainers are both open source tools. It seems that Hadolint with 2.28K GitHub stars and 99 forks on GitHub has more adoption than Microcontainers with 1.56K GitHub stars and 137 GitHub forks.
