Cloudsmith is a fully-managed artifact management, software supply chainsoftware supply chainThe dependencies, tools and processes used to build and deliver software. Compromising one part can affect the products or organizations that rely on it. security, and software distribution platform.

Summary

Cloudsmith is a commercial artifact management and software supply chain security platform, run as a fully-managed SaaSSaaSSoftware delivered over the internet and run on the provider's infrastructure, so the buyer pays a subscription instead of installing or operating anything locally. service rather than something you self-host. It stores and distributes packages across formats while layering in policy-as-code enforcement, continuous vulnerability and malicious-package detection sourced from OSV.devOSV.devAn open-source vulnerability database and API maintained by Google that aggregates CVEs and ecosystem-specific advisories in a unified schema, giving cyber tools a single feed to query for package-level vulnerability data., and cooldown periods that quarantine newly published NuGetNuGetMicrosoft's package manager for .NET, hosting a public registry of reusable libraries so tools can pull in dependencies without bundling or manually maintaining third-party code., Go, and Maven packages before they can be consumed. It's aimed at platform engineers and application teams managing package registries and CI/CD pipelines, with OIDCOIDCOpenID Connect, a sign-in protocol built on OAuth 2.0. An application uses identity information from a trusted provider instead of maintaining a separate password for each user.-based authentication and a standalone CLI replacing static API keys and manual Docker logins. Its documentation doesn't name a direct competitor, but it sits in the same space as artifact repository and software supply chain security tools. Launched in 2016 and still active, with 25 tracked releases and the most recent just 22 days ago.

Cloudsmith is a fully-managed artifact management, software supply chain security, and software distribution platform.

How Cloudsmith helps

Which of my newly published packages could still be pulled into a build before anyone's had a chance to review them?

quarantines new NuGet, Go, and Maven versions for a configured delay period after publish, so nothing consumable is a fresh, unvetted upload

Which packages in my workspace have a known vulnerability or look malicious right now?

checks every package continuously against OSV.dev advisories, including ecosystem-native version ranges for Debian, Alpine, and PyPI, without waiting for a scheduled or manual scan

Where did this artifact actually come from and what CI run produced it?

lets you attach structured key-value metadata to a package, so build info, git provenance, and compliance evidence travel with the artifact itself

Can my pipelines authenticate without a static key sitting in a secrets store?

discovers OIDC credentials from the CI/CD platform automatically and, for container registries, hands off login to a credential helper instead of a stored password

Would this proposed policy change actually break anything before I roll it out?

the policy editor flags Rego syntax and logic errors inline as you write, and policies can be versioned and applied through Terraform so a change goes through the same review as any other infrastructure code

Am I hitting registry rate limits because I'm pulling anonymously?

Docker Hub and hardened-image upstreams can run through Cloudsmith-managed authentication, which qualifies for higher pull rate limits than anonymous access

Lines in monospace are the tool's own words: help text parsed from its source, or an endpoint from its API document. Under release, a line is our summary of a dated release. Under docs, it is quoted from the tool's own documentation or website. Each links back to the source it came from.

Command line

23 commands for Cloudsmith, each with where it came from. This tool has no source analysis yet, so there is no option reference and no captured run beside them.

Score card

  1. Shipping velocity releases a month, last 12 months
  2. Documentation quality release-notes rubric, 0–100
  3. Breaking-change discipline how rarely a release breaks users, and notice given
  4. Maintenance risk quiet time against its own cadence, maintainers
  5. Innovation & surface new capabilities, API and MCP surface

Five scores for Cloudsmith, each built from the releases, notes and API history this site tracks — and, on Researcher and Business, where it stands among every measured tool in its category and how that has moved.

Score cards are part of every paid plan.

See plans →

Each score is 0–100 on a published rubric, derived from data this site already shows. A dimension we cannot measure says so — it is never scored 0 and never enters a rank.

How this is scored
  • Shipping velocity — releases a month over the last 12 months, on a log scale where 16 a month scores 100. Needs 3 releases in the window.
  • Documentation quality — the release-notes rubric published on the analytics page, unchanged.
  • Breaking-change discipline — the share of releases carrying a breaking change (none scores 100, half or more scores 0). Only projects that label breaking changes are measured: a clean record cannot be told from an unlabelled one.
  • Maintenance risk — quiet time measured against the tool's own release cadence (quiet longer than 90 days and three typical gaps scores 0), plus the number of active maintainers and whether contributors are growing, where known. Higher is lower risk.
  • Innovation & surface — new capabilities in the feature ledger this year, API and MCP operations added, and the share of commits that are features: the mean of whichever we hold.
  • Community health (open-source tools only) — each is a direction, not a size: contributors this year against last, the bus factor now against a year ago, and issues closed per issue opened, where steady scores 50, doubled 100 and halved 0; plus the median time to a maintainer's first reply (an hour scores about 100, a month or more 0). A commercial card has no repository and carries none of the four.
  • Documented delivery (commercial tools) — when a vendor's documented new capabilities have slowed against its own baseline, that counts against the overall standing as heavily as two low dimensions. Steady delivery, or too little history to judge, leaves the standing alone; it is never a sixth score.
  • Open-source tools are scored on repository signals; commercial tools on their published changelog. Ranks compare tools within one category and one profile and need at least five measured peers; the overall standing needs three ranked dimensions. Best-in-breed or consolidator is a shape, not a quality, and is never scored.

How we count

Read from 9 of 56 release notes and docs updates we hold for Cloudsmith. "First seen" is the earliest note that names something; "last" is the latest. Our history may start partway through Cloudsmith's life, so an old integration can show a recent first-seen date.

Each change counts once: "added 40 checks" is one line, so the numbers measure how often coverage moves, not how big the catalogue is or how well it detects.
