Google US repositories serving North American internet clients: $0.10/GiB-month after 0.5 GiB free storage; Premium network pricing with 1 GiB free, $0.12/GiB through 1,024 GiB, then $0.11/GiB. Storage uses a 730-hour month. Same-location Google Cloud traffic is outside these scenarios; optional scanning is not added to Google's price.

Illustrative workloads with the same users, stored bytes, and monthly downloads on both sides. Users and storage remain constant for the full cycle; downloads are complete package-file or blob responses. USD before tax; Ravenstash uses monthly billing and managed storage. GB and TB are decimal; GiB-priced services use the equivalent bytes. Prices cover the named plans and usage, without optional add-ons or negotiated discounts.

The everyday difference

One CLI changes the whole workflow.

Sign in once. Select a repository. Keep the package tools you already know. rvs handles temporary authentication for your native clients, so developers spend less time managing registry configuration and credentials.

Use the same workflow with pip, uv, npm, pnpm, Maven, Gradle, Docker, Helm, and more. CI jobs use dedicated automation tokens with the same wrappers.

More than a lower bill

The package tools your team needs, together.

Private PyPI, npm, Maven, Container, and Helm repositories with security, visibility, and control. Advanced metrics, organization audit, custom remotes, and BYOS follow your plan's feature availability.

Free bandwidth, worldwide

Unlimited data transfer and a network spanning 300+ locations keep packages close to developers and CI. Built for low latency on small packages and high throughput on large downloads.

Give every token a precise job

Fine-grained automation tokens let you scope access to the resources and actions each job needs. Rotate or revoke a CI credential independently of developer sign-in.

Catch risky dependencies

Review malware and dependency-vulnerability findings for PyPI, npm, and Maven packages. Protected mirrors and minimum package-age controls help keep risky new dependencies out of builds.

What changes

URLs, sign-in, and CI credentials

  • Registry URLs move from regional or multi-regional Google endpoints to Ravenstash package URLs.
  • Release jobs use Ravenstash automation tokens rather than cloud-provider identity setup.
  • Teams manage private mirrors and package usage alongside their private repositories.
Developer authentication

Sign in through the browser with rvs

Developers run rvs auth login, approve the sign-in in their browser, and use their Ravenstash repositories without copying a reusable token into local configuration. CI and release jobs use dedicated automation tokens that can be rotated or revoked independently.

Migration path

How to move from Google Artifact Registry

Start with one package ecosystem, validate publish and install paths, then repeat the same process for the remaining repositories.

  1. 1Export the active Artifact Registry repositories and package formats your team actually uses.
  2. 2Create Ravenstash repositories around ownership or release boundaries and enable the required PyPI, npm, and Maven types.
  3. 3Move CI jobs to Ravenstash automation tokens.
  4. 4Update developer docs, build images, and release pipelines to use explicit `rvs` targets.
  5. 5Check install speed and dependency policy before switching all jobs.
