Delivering Heterogeneous Architectures
summary
Claim: middleware lock-in is over because Cloud Foundry’s buildpack model builds portable containers and lets operators control runtimes. Buildpacks follow detect compile release to produce immutable droplets with consistent operational characteristics; operators can enable, lock, version, and prioritize buildpacks. The ecosystem supports 50+ languages and dozens of community buildpacks; a custom Rust buildpack (Heroku fork) compiles, stages, and runs a Rust binary via CF push. Multiple apps can deploy from one manifest; demos succeed.
