How we moved from Artifactory and saved $200k p.a. Part 2 of 5 - Design

1

Apache Maven

From analysing our usage within Artifactory we settled upon support for npm, NuGet, generic artefacts (zip, exe, dll etc), Docker images and Maven. We quickly determined that our biggest challenge would be Docker images, accounting for greater than 50% of our consumed storage, with several repositories holding more than 1 TB of image data. Latterly, Maven would also prove challenging.

Amazon S3

AWS is our preferred Cloud Provider and platform, as well as a key technical partner. It was a natural choice to look at their services for our solution. From investigation, we found that AWS CodeArtifact was a decent fit for supporting npm, NuGet, Maven and Python (if required in the future), however, it was not a complete match for all our requirements. Favourably, S3 is an excellent fit for generic artefacts, and Elastic Container Registry (ECR) is perfectly appropriate for Docker images (even leading us to correct misunderstandings between images and repositories internally!).
