Managing Software Artifacts at Scale: The DevOps Essential for Modern Supply Chains

Modern software development generates far more than source code—thousands of build artifacts daily across microservices and containers that must be securely managed and deployed. Artifact Repository platforms like Nexus and Artifactory serve as the centralized source of truth, providing version control, authentication, and supply chain security scanning to prevent attacks on dependencies. Without proper artifact management, organizations face version chaos, security vulnerabilities, and impossible-to-trace deployments at scale.
