Vibe coding is seductive — and a serious risk
AI coding has many attractions, but organizations must have humans in the loop to keep good software risk management vibes flowing.
Learn More about Vibe coding is seductive — and a serious riskAn artifact repository is a centralized system that stores, manages, and distributes binary software artifacts generated during the software development lifecycle. These artifacts include compiled code (e.g., JAR, WAR, DLL), container images, configuration files, Helm charts, and other build outputs.
Artifact repositories are essential in DevOps and CI/CD environments, enabling teams to reliably version, track, and reuse components throughout development, testing, and deployment.
They are a key element of modern software supply chain integrity.
An artifact repository is a version-controlled storage system integrated with CI/CD pipelines. The typical workflow involves:
Popular artifact repository tools include JFrog Artifactory, Sonatype Nexus, AWS CodeArtifact, Azure Artifacts, and GitHub Packages.
Term | Focus Area | Key Difference from Artifact Repository |
---|---|---|
Source Code Repository | Stores human-readable code | Artifact repositories store built binaries, not source code. |
Container Registry | Stores container images | A specialized type of artifact repository. |
Package Manager | Retrieves software packages | Often interacts with artifact repositories, not a replacement. |
SBOM | Software component inventory | SBOM tracks contents; artifact repositories store the contents. |
