I guess I've not worked in big enough corporates to use this. Can any user here provide some context what JFrog does? The website doesn't really say much, the example pipeline files for JFrog pipelines seem more complex than GitLab CI.

I thought they were more known for package registries and hosting (eg conan) than CI.

With Helm, there is no need for Artifactory. You get Harbor, Verdaccio, etc. It is silly to pay a company 100k+ when all this stuff is easily managed using official or far more powerful tools.

Though Artifactory is currently still listed as being OSS on their site ( https://jfrog.com/open-source/ ) they stopped publishing the source code after the 7.0 release of Artifactory (somewhere beginning this year). I guess this could be the reason. Having an OSS product is not something investors get thrilled about...

Usually JFrog is pretty responsive on StackOverflow though for this particular question they seem a bit evasive ( https://stackoverflow.com/questions/43481238/where-is-the-ar... ).

For me JFrog is synonymous with Artifactory -- I think that was their earliest / bread & butter product? That may just be my interaction. It's an on-premise/cloud hybrid source artifact repository. The nice thing about it is that it is one product that can act as a maven/npm/pip/etc. repo. If you're in a polyglot org (big enterprise) and you have security needs/historical baggage to host on-premise (big enterprise) t…

What is an artifact in this context?

We use it for artifactory to support scala services. S3 based solutions aren't as good, though jfrog isn't without its faults.

A package, typically. Like a Maven package for java, a wheel/egg package for Python, a gem package for Ruby, etc.

What about things that arn't built on top of Kubernetes?
