GitHub Packages & GitLab Package Repository Alternative
The GitHub packages alternative built for enterprise engineering teams.
Cloudsmith is the fully-managed GitHub Packages alternative and GitLab package repository replacement built for teams that have outgrown what's bundled in their source control. One platform for every package format, every team, every pipeline, with no infrastructure to manage.
Why engineering teams switch from GitHub Packages and GitLab to Cloudsmith
GitHub package repository and GitLab Package Registry are built for source control first, artifact management second. Here's what changes when you make it your primary platform.
CurrentlyYour GitHub package repository or GitLab registry costs are bundled and opaque and they scale unpredictably as your team grows.
With CloudsmithCloudsmith's pricing is simple, transparent, and purpose-built for artifact management, not bundled into a source control licence you're already paying for.
CurrentlyYou are experiencing scaling and performance bottlenecks. Standing over the availability of your solution can be difficult.
With CloudsmithCloudsmith scales automatically based on the needs of your teams and pipelines. You never need to add or manage additional nodes, replicate databases. Uptime is publicly available on our status page.
CurrentlyYou have limited control over software flowing into your teams and pipelines, and you pay per-user fees for basic curation.
With CloudsmithYou get enterprise-ready policy management tools, based on OPA and industry-standard Rego, with no per-seat pricing. Everything flowing through Cloudsmith passes through our policy checks.
CurrentlyYou are struggling to get the support you need. Critical incidents can take hours, if not days to resolve. The experience of working with the vendor just doesn’t feel good.
With CloudsmithWe work with you at every stage of your migration to Cloudsmith. Once you become a customer, you get support directly from our engineers. We pride ourselves on efficiency and friendliness.
