Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB) is a CNCF project that brings several advantages to application developers in a variety of programming languages and technologies. CNBs transform application source code into runnable artifacts (OCI images) and allow developers to focus on the application business logic, without having to worry about writing Dockerfiles, image security, optimizing container images, etc. In this talk, we'll give a quick overview of the CNB project and its key concepts. We'll demonstrate how you can use the associated tools to build your application image and inspect it. We'll explore the Paketo open source project which provides CNB implementations for various programming languages and use cases, and we'll focus on some of the existing Java CNBs. Last but not least, we'll show how you can seamlessly run your application on a cloud platform like Cloud Foundry, taking advantage of its recently introduced integration with CNBs.
