Cloudsmith’s Hex registry is now generally available (GA) 🎉 With Cloudsmith, you can manage, develop, and distribute your Hex packages in your own private Hex registry using familiar tooling, ensuring seamless integration into your existing workflows.
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.
Since its inception, Hex has become indispensable for Erlang and Elixir developers, facilitating dependency management and third-party library integration with ease.
With Cloudsmith's launch of private Hex repositories, developers now have a secure and flexible solution for hosting and distributing Hex packages internally for development or externally for distribution.
Cloudsmith supports both public and private distribution of Hex packages. It also 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.
We offer examples within the Cloudsmith application and via our documentation to simplify setup and help you get started using our public or private Hex repositories.
As always, your feedback is invaluable in shaping our next steps. If you have any questions or suggestions, don’t hesitate to reach out. We love 💙 to get developer feedback!
