The new platform, Cloudsmith, aims to provide development teams with access to the packages they need, when they need them, through a private, cloud-based repository that shields businesses from malware and security concerns related to third-party software. This approach allows for universality across multiple languages and package formats, while providing reliable and performant package management. Specifically, Cloudsmith is launching support for private Dart package repositories, which can be used by development teams to host and distribute their own Dart packages, share them privately with other teams, or mirror public packages without exposing uncontrolled upstream issues. The platform integrates with the popular Dart ecosystem, which has seen a resurgence in popularity due to its use in Flutter, Google's UI framework for building native interfaces on iOS and Android. By hosting private Dart repositories, development teams can control access to their packages, track dependencies, and capture the exact state of their dependencies at a particular version or release. The platform is designed to be user-friendly, with a simple setup process that allows developers to create and publish their own Dart packages, which can then be accessed by other teams within their organization.
