Expand Buildpack Authoring How-Tos

[fg-j]

Problem

As Paketo has matured as a project, some patterns have emerged in the Paketo packit buildpacks for how to accomplish various common tasks. These include, but are not limited to:

• installing a versioned dependency using draft and postal
• configuring environment variables for build- or launch-time
• setting start process(es)
• running a language-ecosystem tool like npm or bundler
• doing something with a service binding

The Cloud Native Buildpacks project offers limited examples of how to write buildpacks. These examples don't point to actual production-grade buildpacks that demonstrate best practices. If Paketo documents the emerging patterns and best practices for creating buildpacks, we can empower more users to become buildpack authors.
