  • pack

    CLI for building apps using Cloud Native Buildpacks

  • I had a short look into buildpacks.io . So I don't have a firm opinion yet. But as much i understand now, it really builds Container images. Kubero goes a different approach. The buildstep only compiles the project to a mounted volume, which is mounted readonly to the running container. Further more is the detection step unnecessary, since the dev knows what he wants to build and selects the buildimage. How ever, I'm still looking into it, so see if my project can profit from the great work there in any other way.

  • epinio

    Opinionated platform that runs on Kubernetes, that takes you from App to URL in one step.

  • Would have helped if I spent it right 😂 - https://github.com/epinio/epinio

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