Wonder if anybody is really using buildpacks... The stats i've seen recently show that it doesn't have much adoption and I'm very curious why it's not adopted more.

The post also doesn't mention SlimToolkit (aka DockerSlim), which is now a CNCF Sandbox project. It represents another major way to create minimal container images.

buikdpacks is actually used by Google cloud to build container images from your app source code.

i used dockerslim in the past and i was impressed. i didn't add to the article since i wasn't aware it became a CNCF protect. I wasn't sure who was using it.
