Teamwork makes the dream work for this multi-architecture builder

There has never been a better time to start delivering Spring Boot applications to ARM64 architectures. I've been working on ARM64 buildpacks for over a year now and I want you to see how far things have come. These last few days have been leveled-up with help from Daniel Mikusa and Salman Malik, and the results are amazing.

So close

I'm excited because the builder for ARM64 is so close to the AMD64 builder supported by Paketo. To see just how close things are, we can do a simple diff of the builders, from different architectures.

Optionally, clear cached images first

docker system prune -a --volumes -f

Inspect with ARM64

On an ARM64 device:

pack builder inspect dashaun/builder:tiny > ~/dashaun.builder.tiny.arm64
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

The file should look like this:
