Build outputs need a place to be stored and managed in ways that fit your team’s development workflow. Compared on supported formats, container artifacts and access control, these repository options also cover retention rules, upstream proxy and self-hosting. Storage limits help you consider capacity, while free plans and paid-from pricing add cost context. Cloudsmith, Inedo ProGet and Packagecloud are among the options to weigh. Match the formats and controls to the artifacts your team handles, and consider how retention, hosting and storage arrangements will fit the way you manage them.
