07/26/2023, 10:06 AMMaybe @broad-dream-81849 has an opinion?

07/26/2023, 10:09 AMAnd a thing we’re running into, is that we’re creating a ‘build’ directory and only that needs to be deployed, not figured out how to strip the rest.

07/26/2023, 10:10 AMabsolutely, you should go with whatever best fits your need. If you already have a Docker image you can skip completely the staging part, and use Epinio for everything else. Or you can provide a different builder, that will work better in your case

07/26/2023, 4:07 PMThere is an initiative upstream to allow dockerfiles to be used in the buildpack flow which will bridge the two worlds.
Also, the default buildpacks are quite heavyweight as they are trying to solve for everything. It's not too difficult to build your own buildpack that builds much more lightweight images (figuring out the documentation is the hard part...)

07/27/2023, 2:14 PMHere is the RFC discussing the new functionality: https://github.com/buildpacks/rfcs/issues/224

07/27/2023, 2:25 PMReading through the current status of that RFC, I think this might already be doable with what's in the box. I just don't know what would be needed to make it go. I might play with it over the weekend...
