Buildpacks

Buildpacks are tools that automate the process of transforming source code into a ready-to-run application. They analyze the code to determine what it needs—such as specific libraries or runtime environments—and then assemble all necessary components. This allows developers to deploy applications consistently across different environments without manually configuring servers or dependencies. Essentially, buildpacks streamline the deployment process by packaging code and its requirements into a self-sufficient unit, simplifying cloud and container-based deployments while ensuring that applications run reliably wherever they are launched.
