Cloudsmith Inc.

Eclipse Strategic Developer Member

Cloudsmith gives developers a new way to publish, share and consume the software products they create.

If you are just distributing a single package of binaries, you can always publish it as a simple download.

But what if your project includes a mix of pre-built binaries and "live" source code coming from different projects under different licensing term? And what if your users want to join your development project, or build their own product on top of yours, instead of just downloading and installing it?

Before your users can even get started, they can waste days checking out code, tracking down dependencies, configuringlocal development environments, etc. Most won't have time to try.

Cloudsmith eliminates much of the friction of sharing and consuming software products. With Cloudsmith, you create "virtual distros"--configurations of components assembled across multiple sources and forms--that are represented in terms of metadata, rather than code artifacts.

You publish these distros in a way that allow users to get them in minutes by just clicking on a link. To users, it looks like your distro just materialized from the cloud.
