nixpacks VS engine

Example with Nixpacks:

We have an upcoming nixpacks builder that should work on ARM/ARM64, but there are issues in the nixpacks codebase I'm still trying to sort out before that lands.

I think this is something the writer of the article would be delighted to find: https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks

Yes, it builds the Dockerfile if it exists otherwise it uses nixpacks to create an image from source files for any language/framework. This image is then run using docker run .

I think this is true for Nix in the deployment/ops space, where debugging a broken build can be very frustrating. Language improvements are going to be less useful for app developers, the Flake learning curve is not going to get better with a type system.

Perhaps something like heroku buildpaks (https://github.com/railwayapp/nixpacks ?) would help devs get on the Nix train.

Hey! Any plans on integrating nixpacks? I'm one of the core maintainers & would love to help you out. No worries if not.

I have one of my customers who want to use Qovery to deploy their apps on AWS China. Technically speaking, Qovery runs on Kubernetes and on all the usual AWS regions. But AWS China (Beijing) is a bit different (cf here)

Combining GitLab (CI) with Qovery (CD) sounds what you need.

I am eager to get your feedback on Qovery - an open-source CD platform that helps thousands of developers and DevOps to build and scale on AWS.
