To ensure that Cloudsmith is and remains a ‘universal’ package management solution, we continue to add formats and extend the scope of the platform. Hence the launch today of our support for CocoaPods.

We’ve been busy over the last week rolling out new product features that make the cloud feel and perform as if it was right there in the building with you - specifically geographic storage and edge caching.

As developers, we need to get back to being diligent - and consistently diligent - about questions of security, provenance, reliability and availability when it comes to packages and dependencies.

The promise of Cloudsmith is simple. We ensure development teams have access to the packages they need, when they need them. And we do that through a private, cloud-based repository that can help shield the business from malware, security and licensing concerns related to the use of third party software packages, whilst giving you total control over access to your own packages.
