Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe:

The build time in Amplify is quite slow. I do understand that it is difficult to speed it up although on my local machine it is much faster.

I noticed that nodejs 22 needs to be installed and takes already more than a minute. Could it not be preinstalled in the images to speed up?
