One of the most advanced repository managers, in the Cloud. Artifactory offers powerful enterprise features and fine-grained permission control
An artifact repository manages your end-to-end artifact lifecycle and supports different software package management systems while providing consistency to your CI/CD workflow. It’s a source for artifacts needed for a build and a target to which artifacts generated during a build process may be deployed.
Multiple developers from different sites regularly use artifacts and third-party components from different sources. This can cause testing problems to arise and, thereby, slow the pace of your releases. Layer onto this the complexity of handling dozens of different types of technologies and your software development process could well find itself being brought to a halt from time to time due to a lack of foresight and planning. That’s why a DevOps artifact repository is crucial for sensible, efficient software development.
Artifactory acts as a proxy between your build tool (Maven, Ant etc.) and the outside world.
Local CacheIt caches remote artifacts so that you don’t have to download them over and over again.
It blocks unwanted (and sometimes security-sensitive) external requests for internal artifacts and controls how and where artifacts are deployed, and by whom. With Artifactory, you can gain full control over all the build artifacts and third-party dependencies your organization uses, and even share repositories throughout your interdepartmental and/or multi-team environment no matter where your team members may be located.
Built on top of the Java Content Repository (JCR), Artifactory repository manager supports extremely high concurrency and offers unmatched data integrity.
