  1. feat : use --no-cache-dir flag to pip in dockerfiles to save space

    using the "--no-cache-dir" flag in pip install, make sure downloaded packages
    by pip don't cache on the system. This is a best practice that makes sure
    to fetch from a repo instead of using a local cached one. Further, in the case
    of Docker Containers, by restricting caching, we can reduce image size.
    In terms of stats, it depends upon the number of python packages
    multiplied by their respective size. e.g for heavy packages with a lot
    of dependencies it reduces a lot by don't cache pip packages.
    
    Further, more detailed information can be found at
