Cloudsmith Navigator
Cloudsmith Navigator helps engineers select the highest quality OSS packages for their projects. Navigator integrates and analyses data on NPM, PyPi, RubyGems and Maven packages, and assigns each one a score based on security, maintenance and documentation.
The testing pyramid: Strategic software testing for Agile teams
The testing pyramid model untangles the complexity of software testing by fitting it into an efficient hierarchical structure. By focusing on unit tests at the base, integration tests in the middle, and end-to-end tests at the top, the testing pyramid ensures that most testing efforts are spent on tests that are fast, reliable, and easy to maintain. This allows for quicker iterations, improved code quality, and more stable releases.
Integrating AI and DevOps for Software Development Teams
For a long time, the domains of Machine Learning and AI on one side, and software development on the other side, were separate kingdoms. Sometimes, they touched, and something magical would happen. But more often, things didn’t really work out. They faced challenges stemming from a lack of mutual understanding, shared language, and compatible tools. With the meteoric rise and increased accessibility of powerful generative AI and LLMs, the need for collaboration to achieve real-world engineering and customer value has never been more vital.

What Is Continuous Delivery and How Does It Work?
Continuous delivery (CD) is an application development practice that involves automatically preparing code changes for release to a production environment. Combined with continuous integration (CI), continuous delivery is a key aspect of modern software development. Together, these two practices are known as CI/CD. Properly implemented CI enables developers to deploy any code change to testing and production environments late in the software development lifecycle (SDLC).
LLM hallucinations: How to detect and prevent them with CI
An LLM hallucination occurs when a large language model (LLM) generates a response that is either factually incorrect, nonsensical, or disconnected from the input prompt. Hallucinations are a byproduct of the probabilistic nature of language models, which generate responses based on patterns learned from vast datasets rather than factual understanding.
What is microservices architecture?
Microservices architecture is a method of developing software systems that structures an application as a collection of loosely coupled services, each focusing on a single function or business capability. Each service operates within a discrete, confined context, communicating with other services through well-defined interfaces — typically APIs.

Coming Soon: Cloudsmith Migration Toolkit
One of our core motivations in building Cloudsmith is to make software developers' lives easier. We want Cloudsmith to be one of those great products that feels intuitive and automates everything. As we’re picking up more and larger customers, we’re seeing an increased need for migration tools. We want to make it as easy as possible for teams who are stuck using JFrog Artifactory, or Sonatype Nexus, or other legacy tools to move over to the joy of SaaS artifact management using Cloudsmith.
