Platform teams utilizing the Pulumi Private Registry now benefit from enhanced visibility into component usage, addressing the challenge of tracking which teams have adopted new versions. This visibility is crucial for managing security vulnerabilities, planning deprecations, and controlling version sprawl. The registry's new usage tracking feature allows teams to see which stacks are using specific components, the versions in use, and the last update time, all accessible through the "Used By" tab, respecting existing access controls. This centralized insight transforms previously slow and cumbersome conversations by enabling quick identification of affected stacks in security incidents, coordinating deprecation timelines, and understanding version distribution across the organization. The registry serves not only as a distribution hub but also as a source of truth for component usage, encouraging teams to publish components and leverage these insights for improved management.
