+[cloud-build]: https://cloud.google.com/cloud-build
+
+This guide shows you how to use [Cloud Build][cloud-build] to offload the
+creation of [buildpacks] builders.
+
+## Pre-requisites
+
+This guide assumes you are familiar with Google Cloud, and that you have a GCP
+project with Cloud Build enabled. If needed, consult:
+* the [GCP quickstarts][gcp-quickstarts] to setup a GCP project
+* the [cloud build quickstarts][cloud-build-quickstarts] to setup Cloud Build
+  in your project
+
+This guide shows you how to test the builder by using it to create a local
+container. These steps will require you to have [docker] and the
+[pack tool][pack-install] on your workstation.
+
+Verify the [docker tool][docker] is functional on your workstation:
+
+```shell
+docker run hello-world
+# Output: Hello from Docker! and then some more informational messages.
+```
+
+If needed, use the [online instructions][docker-install] to download and install
+this tool. This guide assumes that you have configured [sudoless docker]. If
+you prefer replace all `docker` commands below with `sudo docker`.
+
+Verify the [pack tool][pack-install] is functional on our workstation. These
+instructions were tested with v0.17.0, although they should work with newer
+versions. Some commands may not work with older versions.
+
+```shell
+pack version
+# Output: a version number, e.g., 0.17.0+git-d9cb4e7.build-2045
+```
+
+## Getting the code for this example
+
+This example is included in the Functions Framework for C++
+[source code repository][repository-gh]. Download this code as usual:
+
+```shell
+cd $HOME
+git clone https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/functions-framework-cpp
+```
+
+The rest of this guide will assume you are issuing commands in the framework's
+clone:
+
+```shell
+cd $HOME/functions-framework-cpp
+```
+
+## Create the buildpacks builder
+
+Set the `GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT` shell variable to the project id of your GCP
+project, and schedule a build to create your buildpack:
+
+```shell
+GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT=... # put the right value here
+gcloud builds submit \
+    "--project=${GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT}" \
+    "--config=build_scripts/pack/cloudbuild.yaml"
+```
+
+## The test function
+
+In this guide we will be using the [HTTP hello word][hello-world-http] function:
+
+```cc
+#include <google/cloud/functions/http_request.h>
+#include <google/cloud/functions/http_response.h>
+#include <nlohmann/json.hpp>
+
+namespace gcf = ::google::cloud::functions;
+
+gcf::HttpResponse hello_world_http(gcf::HttpRequest request) {
+  auto greeting = [r = std::move(request)] {
+    auto request_json = nlohmann::json::parse(r.payload(), /*cb=*/nullptr,
+                                              /*allow_exceptions=*/false);
+    if (request_json.count("name") && request_json["name"].is_string()) {
+      return "Hello " + request_json.value("name", "World") + "!";
+    }
+    return std::string("Hello World!");
+  };
+
+  gcf::HttpResponse response;
+  response.set_payload(greeting());
+  response.set_header("content-type", "text/plain");
+  return response;
+}
+```
+
+## Building a Docker image
+
+Build a Docker image from your function using this buildpack:
+
+```shell
+pack build \
+    --builder gcr.io/${GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT}/functions-framework-cpp/builder:bionic \
+    --env FUNCTION_SIGNATURE_TYPE=http \
+    --env TARGET_FUNCTION=hello_world_http \
+    --path examples/site/hello_world_http \
+    gcf-cpp-hello-world-http
+```
+
+To avoid typing the long builder name you can make this your default
+builder:
+
+```shell
+pack config default-builder \
+    gcr.io/${GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT}/functions-framework-cpp/builder:bionic
+```
+
+Then the command becomes:
+
+```shell
+pack build \
+    --env FUNCTION_SIGNATURE_TYPE=http \
+    --env TARGET_FUNCTION=hello_world_http \
+    --path examples/site/hello_world_http \
+    gcf-cpp-hello-world-http
+```
+
+## Cleanup
+
+Delete the images created by Cloud Build:
+
+```shell
+for image in \
+    gcr.io/${GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT}/functions-framework-cpp/{builder,cache,build-image,run-image}; do
+  gcloud container images list-tags "${image}" --format='get(digest)' | \
+    xargs printf "${image}@%s\n" | \
+    xargs gcloud container images delete --force-delete-tags
+done
+```
