📄 Description

This pull request introduces a significant enhancement to our Dockerfile and associated start.sh script by transitioning to uv, a cutting-edge Python package manager developed by Astral.sh. uv is designed to be a highly efficient drop-in replacement for traditional pip install operations, boasting remarkable speed improvements and compatibility with existing pip workflows.

Key Improvements:

Build Performance: Through local testing, I've observed that adopting uv has slashed our Docker build times by an impressive 50%. This enhancement is expected to streamline our development pipeline, reducing wait times for builds and deployments significantly.
Image Optimization: Alongside the performance boost, this change introduces the use of virtual environments, which has the added benefit of reducing our Docker image size by approximately 300MB. This optimization not only speeds up the deployment process but also minimizes resource consumption, aligning with our goals for efficiency and sustainability.

For more details on uv and its capabilities, visit Astral.sh's uv announcement.

I believe these changes will significantly improve our workflow and resource usage, and I look forward to any feedback on this change (even if it's "this might be too new").
