Introducing support for Hex, now in Early Access

Feb 5 2024

We believe strongly that a single source for storing, securing, managing, and distributing all software within an organization is the first step to a trusted software supply chain. That's why Cloudsmith aims to support all the languages and package formats our customers use.

With that in mind, we are delighted to announce that Cloudsmith now supports public and private Hex repositories. Hex is a package manager for the BEAM ecosystem; any language that compiles to run on the BEAM VM, such as elixir and Erlang, can be used to build Hex packages.

You can also publish using the native tooling:

mix hex.publish package

Additionally, Cloudsmith scans your Hex packages for malware and CVEs and extracts license information, letting you build license and vulnerability policies to manage what packages are allowed to be used within your organization.

Cloudsmith's support for Hex repositories is in Early Access. To get started using Cloudsmith for Hex, review our documentation and reach out to us today.
