To Infinity! Let’s Build a Buildpack
summary
Shows how to create simple v3 buildpacks using shell detect/build executables and the Buildpack Core toolchain (pack build), producing runnable Docker images without Dockerfiles. Demonstrates a tiny fizzbuzz buildpack that detects a single count file, emits a TOML procfile and an image that prints the result, and a Redis buildpack that downloads/compiles Redis into cached layers. Explains builder collections, environment injection, file creation, and layer caching; the demos build and run successfully.
