What is Kpack?
It extends Kubernetes and utilizes unprivileged kubernetes primitives to provide builds of OCI images as a platform implementation of Cloud Native Buildpacks (CNB).
It provides a declarative builder resource that configures a Cloud Native Buildpacks build configuration with the desired buildpack order and operating system stack.
It provides a declarative image resource that builds an image and schedules image rebuilds on source changes and from builder buildpack and builder stack updates.
Kpack is a tool in the Container Tools category of a tech stack.
Kpack is an open source tool with GitHub stars and GitHub forks. Here’s a link to Kpack's open source repository on GitHub

Kpack Alternatives & Comparisons
What are some alternatives to Kpack?
Kubernetes
Kubernetes is an open source orchestration system for Docker containers. It handles scheduling onto nodes in a compute cluster and actively manages workloads to ensure that their state matches the users declared intentions.
Docker Compose
With Compose, you define a multi-container application in a single file, then spin your application up in a single command which does everything that needs to be done to get it running.
Rancher
Rancher is an open source container management platform that includes full distributions of Kubernetes, Apache Mesos and Docker Swarm, and makes it simple to operate container clusters on any cloud or infrastructure platform.
Docker Swarm
Swarm serves the standard Docker API, so any tool which already communicates with a Docker daemon can use Swarm to transparently scale to multiple hosts: Dokku, Compose, Krane, Deis, DockerUI, Shipyard, Drone, Jenkins... and, of course, the Docker client itself.
Argo
Argo is an open source container-native workflow engine for getting work done on Kubernetes. Argo is implemented as a Kubernetes CRD (Custom Resource Definition).
