Hi Danny, We (Japan Cloud Foundry Group) tried to deploy six applications with ddollar's heroku-buildpack-multi ( https://github.com/ddollar/heroku-buildpack-multi (deprecated now)). Here are our blog posts (sorry that all the posts are in Japanese, but I think you may see the actual deployment procedures in "pre" sections (in black background)): * Yabitz http://blog.cloudfoundry.gr.jp/2015/06/cf100apps-014-yabitz.html* jqplay http://blog.cloudfoundry.gr.jp/2015/07/jqplay-cloud-foundry.html* Mattermost http://blog.cloudfoundry.gr.jp/2015/09/cf100apps-066-mattermost.html* Wizard Warz http://blog.cloudfoundry.gr.jp/2015/10/cf100apps-079-wizardwarz.html* Jekyll http://blog.cloudfoundry.gr.jp/2015/10/cf100apps-087-jekyll.html* Mconf-Web http://blog.cloudfoundry.gr.jp/2015/11/cf100apps-098-mconf-web.htmlI also have some experience using James Bayer's scm-buildpack with heroku-buildpack-multi. But it seems not the cases that you require. Regards, gberche wrote Danny,
Some additional related use-cases:
1- our corporate CF platform provider is willing to scan content all apps pre staging and post-staging. For instance, in order to black list of known-to-be-vulnerable php library pulled by the production apps, or perform static code analysis. We're currently considering a php buildpack fork to insert an extension to do this. Being able to do such scanning without forking the buildpack would be useful.
This seemed well match https://www.pivotaltracker.com/story/show/100758730
2- add some features that are language-independent to the set of supported buildpacks without forking them (e.g. an agent collocated with the app, or a command prexecuted prior to app starting).
A concrete example of this is securely fetching secrets from an hashicorp vault before app startup and expose them as transient env vars (i.e. env vars not stored in CC db). More details into https://github.com/Orange-OpenSource/static-creds-broker/issues/11
As a starting point we have decided to work with officially provided buildpacks as their behavior is known and controlled by the buildpacks team.
I worry that only supporting a combination of the officially provided buildpacks will drastically limit the number of use-cases addressed such a "multi-buildpack" 1st step

Dubois, Jan <jan.dubois@...>
The problem right now is that the buildpack names are no longer available during staging. All the code is available (because the stager needs to call `bin/detect` for each buildpack in turn), but it uses a hash as the directory name. I made a quick experiment that grabs the mapping from buildpack names to filesystem location directly out of the CCDB and stuffs it into a CF_BUILDPACKS environment variable. With that in place, it is a trivial change to extend the multi-buildpack to support admin buildpacks as well. I've put some more information into the README.md: https://github.com/jandubois/cf-buildpack-multiI haven't tested this with the legacy DEA; I only checked it with Diego. I would be happy to work on patches for CC and Stager to implement support for CF_BUILDPACKS if this approach is considered useful by the community, and acceptable to buildpack team. Please let me know what you think about this approach!

Thanks for the clarification Danny. I guess the point I was trying to make earlier with the "oracle_library" buildpack use case, is that this feature has some potential functional commonality with the proposed binary service broker feature and the pre-post hook proposed features. So, my hope is that all these features can be considered together to help ensure a coherent solution across this entire buildpack extensiblity space that is being explored right now.
Thanks, Mike

Another common use case for me is that an application is polyglot in some way. For example, you have a blog you'd like to deploy that uses a static site generator written in (say) Go. You would have the Go buildpack run to bootstrap and generate the resulting files in some output directory, and then the staticfile buildpack runs and serves the files from the output directory.

Ah, I think that helps a lot. So to restate this would be a feature of the buildpacks themselves and the current buildpack contract (perhaps triggering off of detect or something) not a generic feature of the cloud controller feature would allows you to apply and order multiple buildpacks against a single app, correct?
Thanks, Mike

Mike, this is so buildpacks can be composed together.
For example, if a user want to use NodeJS to compile Javascript assets for a Java app (yes, there always Maven support, but some have different work flows).
Multi-buildpack doesn't alleviate forking of buildpacks. In my opinion, the above proposals for extensions to the buildpack app life cycle are orthogonal.

Hi there,
The CF Buildpacks team is considering taking on a line of work to provide more formal support for multibuildpacks. Before we start, we would be interested in learning if any community users have compelling use cases they could share with us.

Although, correct me if I'm wrong, this feature could be used as a solution for some of those cases. For example, if my application depends upon an oracle-service my node application will require the oracle binary libraries to be configured in my environment before the nodejs buildpack runs. If I create an "oracle-library" buildpack that installs the oracle libraries in my staging container before npm install then this is potentially another way to cover some of the use cases of the other extension points right?
