• Key Concepts: 
  A buildpack is a collection of scripts and configuration files used to create a runtime environment for an application on Cloud Foundry. It is responsible for transforming the application code into a deployable form. Buildpacks are used to detect, build, and deploy applications on Cloud Foundry. 
  
  How to use it: 
  To use a buildpack, you must first create an application manifest file that contains the necessary information about the application. This includes the name of the buildpack, the version of the buildpack, and any other configuration settings. Once the manifest file is created, you can deploy your application using the Cloud Foundry command line interface (CLI). 
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When creating an application manifest file, make sure to specify the correct version of the buildpack. This will ensure that your application is built and deployed correctly. Additionally, you can specify multiple buildpacks in your manifest file if your application requires multiple runtimes.
