Summary

JFrog is transitioning its services by officially sunsetting Bintray, GoCenter, and ChartCenter on May 1, 2021, while maintaining JCenter as a read-only repository until its final shutdown on August 15, 2024. The decision stems from the evolution of the developer ecosystem, with the Go and Helm communities offering their own central repositories as replacements for GoCenter and ChartCenter. JFrog emphasizes the need for users to migrate to alternative repositories, such as Maven Central for JCenter users or ArtifactHub and pkg.go.dev for other services. JFrog also assures continued support through its JFrog Platform and partnerships with infrastructure hubs like Docker to maintain service reliability. Meanwhile, ConanCenter will receive further investments to enhance its offerings for C and C++ developers. JFrog is actively assisting its enterprise and pro customers in transitioning smoothly, ensuring data transfer and providing necessary support before the deactivation of Bintray services.
