# F.A.Q

## What is this?

That's a tough question but thankfully, is quite simple. Laraboot is a development tool for laravel applications.

## What's the difference between build tasks and buildpacks?

Buildpacks exist within the context of Cloud-native applications. 

Build tasks are based on *buildpacks* technology but extend their functionality to work specifically within the Laraboot platform.

## Can an external buildpack be used in a Laraboot project?

Yes. Take a look at [Build your project.](/cli/usage/build-your-project.md)

## How do I create a build task?

Take a look at [Create a build task](/cli/extending/create-a-build-task.md)
