Hey everyone! We recently faced some serious issues with our self-hosted Artifactory instance after an upgrade, and it's become really unstable. The support from JFrog has been disappointing, especially during outages when we needed assistance. Currently, we have a large artifact registry with over 40TB of data, and due to regulatory requirements, some of it needs to stay on-premises. I'm searching for alternatives that aren't JFrog or Sonatype. Ideally, we need a solution that's type-agnostic (like placing a .zip file in a Maven repository) and can handle our sizeable data efficiently. It should also support remote registries. Any suggestions?

We had a great proof of concept with Cloudsmith. JFrog wasn't very responsive due to our size. Cloudsmith supports a variety of package types along with generic archives, which could be a plus.
With 40TB of artifacts, it might be wise to implement a retention policy first to manage all that data before migrating to a new platform.
If you're using GitLab, their integrated package registry could be a solid option for you.
You might want to check out Verdaccio or Pulp. Both can handle custom artifacts and work well when self-hosted at scale.

We're looking at Docker, Maven, Python, NPM, and Ruby packages.
