Why Ravenstash

More value from your package registry

Make your registry easier to use and cheaper to run. Replace combined storage-and-transfer billing with unlimited data transfer, flexible storage ownership, and the rvs developer workflow.

Pricing comparison

Three workloads. A lower Ravenstash price in each.

Stop paying for every GB downloaded. Ravenstash keeps storage and data transfer separate, and costs less even against JFrog's advertised Pro promotion.

Monthly estimates in USD, before tax. The same workload on both sides.

JFrog Pro's advertised $50/month promotion is used, rather than its $150 standard base. Storage and transfer share 25 GB included consumption. All three examples stay below the first tier boundary and apply $1.25 per additional GB; promotional eligibility and duration follow JFrog's terms.

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.

rvs art select acme/packages
rvs pip install internal-sdk
rvs npm install @acme/ui
rvs mvn verify
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

  • Repository paths and package-client URLs move from Artifactory to Ravenstash.
  • Complex repository layouts can be simplified into organization-owned Ravenstash repositories.
  • Security findings, private dependency mirrors, and minimum package-age controls move into Ravenstash alongside repository configuration.
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 JFrog Artifactory

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

Pricing and product sources

  1. 1Identify the Artifactory repositories that are truly PyPI, npm, or Maven production paths.
  2. 2Separate private packages from mirrored public dependencies before migration.
  3. 3Create Ravenstash repositories and tokens by organization or release boundary.
  4. 4Move CI and developer workflows to explicit `rvs` targets one ecosystem at a time.
  5. 5Keep old Artifactory URLs read-only during a short validation window.
