Ravenstash
Migration from AWS CodeArtifact

Migrate from AWS CodeArtifact to Ravenstash

CodeArtifact is convenient inside AWS. Ravenstash is for teams that want package management to be a focused product instead of another AWS service, IAM policy, region, request, and transfer calculation.

Why migrate

When teams start looking beyond AWS CodeArtifact

Teams using multiple clouds, teams separating package governance from AWS administration, and teams that want a simpler package-specific product surface.

They want private package repositories that are not coupled to AWS accounts, regions, IAM roles, or cloud billing ownership.

They want developer and CI credentials that look like standard package-registry tokens instead of cloud-provider access flows.

They want package dashboards, team ownership, upstream cache visibility, and migration copy written for package workflows rather than cloud services.

Pricing angle

Compare storage, delivery, and overages together

AWS can be inexpensive for small raw-storage scenarios, but CodeArtifact pricing includes artifact storage, requests, and data transfer out of a Region. Ravenstash pricing is being designed around generous included storage and package delivery with lower per-GB rates.

These are pricing directions Ravenstash is testing, not launched paid plans. Billing, checkout, quotas, and enforcement are still being finalized.

What changes

Most of the work is package-manager configuration

  • Package clients move from CodeArtifact repository endpoints to Ravenstash PyPI, npm, or Maven URLs.
  • CI jobs use Ravenstash automation tokens with the standard package-manager auth patterns.
  • Repository ownership moves from AWS domains/accounts into Ravenstash personal or team workspaces.
Where to be careful

AWS CodeArtifact can still be the right answer

If every build, runtime, user, and billing owner already lives cleanly inside AWS, CodeArtifact may remain the lowest-friction option.

Migration path

How to move from AWS CodeArtifact

Start with one package ecosystem, validate publish and install paths, then move the remaining repositories with the same pattern.

  1. 1Inventory CodeArtifact domains, repositories, formats, and the CI jobs that publish to each repository.
  2. 2Create matching Ravenstash repositories under the right personal or team workspace.
  3. 3Create Ravenstash automation tokens for CI and release jobs.
  4. 4Update pip, uv, Twine, npm, Maven, and Gradle registry URLs one ecosystem at a time.
  5. 5Enable upstream read-through only where the repository's dependency policy allows it.
Next step

Test Ravenstash with one private package.

Create a repository, publish one package, update one install job, and compare the developer experience before moving the rest.
