About:
Sonatype Nexus is a universal repository manager that supports multiple software formats including Docker, Maven, npm, and PyPI. It acts as a proxy, host, and aggregator for your components, providing a single source of truth for artifacts. The platform includes robust security features to identify vulnerabilities and enforce licensing policies.
Key Features:
  • Universal format support (Docker, Maven, npm, etc.)
  • Artifact proxying and caching for faster builds
  • Integrated security scanning (Sonatype IQ)
  • Staging, release, and promotion workflows
Use Cases:
  • Centralized artifact management for CI/CD pipelines
  • Securing software supply chains against vulnerabilities
  • Private hosting for internal libraries and dependencies
Alternatives:
  • JFrog Artifactory – Direct competitor with similar universal repository support and CI/CD integration.
  • Harbor – Focused specifically on container images, whereas Nexus supports a broader range of formats.
