Packaging now standard, dependency proxy next?

GitHub has announced the public beta of its package registry, marking a step toward integrating more DevOps tools into a single application experience, following its previous Actions announcement. This move appears to parallel GitLab's approach, which has been offering a unified application for the DevOps lifecycle since 2012, incorporating integrated packaging features like Docker registry in 2016 and Maven and NPM in 2018. GitLab continues to enhance its offerings with secure and auditable package management features, such as a Dependency Proxy, which can block or delay suspect packages and trace the use of vulnerable ones, thereby improving performance, cost efficiency, and deployment stability. GitLab emphasizes the value of a comprehensive DevOps application, noting that it provides package registries and features across all ten stages of the DevOps lifecycle, including deployment, security, and monitoring, with GitHub's new features seen as a positive development post-acquisition by Microsoft.
