I run some things at home using dokku and I switched them all to use Dockerfiles since the buildpacks are crazy slow.

Not 100% sure if that is the fault of the dokku implementation or buildpacks in general though. It's all IO related, so I might not even have noticed it had I had faster disks.

Cloud Native Buildpacks are substantially faster in a number of scenarios. Some of the preliminary Java buildpack changes on the Cloud Foundry side have updates dropping from minutes to milliseconds.

They do seem quite slow. I don't think it's so much I/O related as I'm using a DigitalOcean VPS which has an SSD.

I'm not too fussed as I only deploy once in a blue moon if I need to quickly update my website or something. I can see it getting frustrating if you've got a larger product/app doing CI and deploys every merge to master.
