Summary
In this chapter, we took a deep-dive study into how buildpacks work, specifically, how a buildpack works with Cloud Foundry and what common buildpacks are available. We then took an in-depth look at the programmed mechanisms to make it work with Cloud Foundry with the three scripts, detect, compile, and release. This knowledge enables customization and creation of buildpacks, which we used to create a Simple-HTTP buildpack as an example. In the next chapter, we'll look at how we can troubleshoot applications and services on Cloud Foundry.
