Very useful in managing your project dependences

We can use our own private repo as a package cloud to deploy our application to different environments such as development, testing, staging, and production. It's free for open source projects and easy to integrate. The UI is not very good and it's hard to find out what each component does. The service should have more documentation. I recommend this product to people who are looking for a reliable way to manage their packages. We have an internal package management tool to automate deployments

Pros
  • It's easy to learn how to use and has a good set of features
Cons
  • It's hard to find what each component does

Free cloud service with reasonable pricing

The thing I like about PackageCloud is that it's free to use for open source projects and their API documentation are very well explained if you have any doubts or questions in-between your coding sessions. It has an easy way of deploying apps using Docker, so no hassle, just drop them into the repository from there! If it gets too slow at some point, then try another alternative as they don't offer much support (unless you pay). But, this was not our experience. We used PackageCloud to deploy…

Pros
  • Easy setup.
  • No need having previous knowledge how docker works before moving along with setting up packages locally through CLI tools (i'm pretty sure its quite obvious what command does), thus making learning curve super low,
  • Not expensive service provided by PkgCloue; however pricing plans can range between $10 / month upwards depending
Cons
  • Some cons
