It helps you as a devops creating a solid tool-chain and it helps them making the overall experience fit naturally in their stack of choice.Īs I said earlier there are many products out there that can serve as binary package managers, some more generic than others in their target usage, varying also widely in their accessibility and prices. Their biggest advantage I have found however was to create an environment that your programmers will find natural and comfortable making it essential. Especially now that more and more platforms, frameworks and languages are integrating this dependency management directly in them. The initial investment is not very large and the benefits are felt immediately. Note that you do not need a very large team to start reaping benefits from binary package management. The binary repository can allow to host all of these under one roof, making their management much simpler for teams. This list is far from complete, just gives an idea of what's out there. In python: there is pip and the official package index pypi, which one can also create a local instance through binary repository that will support the format.In JavaScript: we have npm which is one of the most popular, will require nodejs.Also check OneGet if Windows distribution management is of interest to you. Newer versions of Powershell can also leverage this to distribute powershell modules though the powershell gallery of which one could build a local distribution with a binary repository and a repository in nuget format.

NET components (DLL and EXE) but can also be used as a distribution mechanism under windows thorugh systems like Chocolatey. There are many other package managers that will use the maven binary repository format as well ( ivy, gradle etc). Java: jar, ear, war etc has Maven and the official MavenCentral.Here are some of the most popular package managers that can be managed using a binary repository:

In most cases these will store individual application components that can later be assembled into a full product - thus allowing a build to be broken in smaller chunks, making more efficient use of resources, reducing build times, better tracking of binary debug databases etc.

Most of the times one would not use the binary repository directly but through a package manager that comes with the chosen technology. The binary repository is a natural extension to the source code repository, in that it will store the outcome of your build process, often denoted as artifacts. That said very often one will use a 'artifactory' as a synonym of the more general binary repository, much like many people use Frigidaire or fridge to denote the refrigerator regardless if it is a Frigidaire brand or not. Artifactory is a product by JFrog that serves as a binary repository manager.
