Cloud Native Buildpacks

Platform API

The Platform API is the contract between the CNB lifecycle and a platform such as pack, kpack, or a CI runner. It defines how builders, stacks, run images, and inputs are passed to the lifecycle phases (analyze, detect, restore, build, export, and rebase) and how outputs are consumed.
