The lifecycle orchestrates buildpack execution, then assembles the resulting artifacts into an OCI image.
The analyzer restores files that buildpacks may use to optimize the build and export phases.
The detector finds an ordered group of buildpacks to use during the build phase.
The restorer copies layers from the cache into the build container.
The builder transforms application source code into runnable artifacts that can be packaged into a container.
The exporter creates the final OCI image.
The creator runs analyze, detect, restore, build, and export in a single command.
The launcher is the entrypoint for the final OCI image, responsible for launching application processes.
The rebaser places application layers atop a new version of the runtime base image.
