It's not clear whether you did this already, but you can reduce the size
of your Docker image by using 'jlink' [1] to roll your own smaller JRE
in a multi-stage container build [2] so you use fewer resources and/or
can run more transformations at once.

It's also not clear how you get 'Books-Summary.xml' out of the Docker
container, nor how you'd run the stylesheet with different input XML.
Presumably the guide will cover how to mount local files and
directories so you can vary the input and output.
