Buildpacks

Cloud Native Buildpacks build production-ready container images directly from application source code, without writing a Dockerfile.

Overview

Cloud Native Buildpacks inspect an application's source code, detect the language and dependencies, and produce an optimized, reproducible container image automatically - handling base image updates and security patching across many apps at once by rebuilding with an updated buildpack rather than editing every Dockerfile by hand. The `pack` CLI is the reference tool for building with them.

Buildpacks are a fit for platform teams standardizing how container images get built across many applications and teams, removing Dockerfile maintenance as a per-app responsibility.
