Understanding Buildpacks: A Deep Dive Into Their Functionality
summary
Explains how the Cloud Native Buildpacks lifecycle binary and the pack CLI (or Maven/Gradle plugins) convert source into OCI images by running detect/build/export phases, creating layered images (builders ~1.5–2 GB) and producing SBOMs; Paketo Buildpacks supply ~26 buildpacks and a real run showed 10 then 6 selected for a Spring Boot app, certificates increased from 146 to 147, JVM tuning via a memory calculator, and the image runs as a non‑root CNB user and supports a single‑command rebase.
