Is Ravenstash a full Azure Artifacts replacement?

Ravenstash is a hosted private package registry for PyPI, npm, and Maven. It is not a universal artifact platform and does not yet include public-read repositories, billing enforcement, or vulnerability scanning.

Can teams migrate one package ecosystem at a time?

Yes. Ravenstash exposes separate PyPI, npm, and Maven-compatible routes, so teams can move package-manager configuration and CI jobs in stages.

Are Ravenstash prices final?

No. Ravenstash pricing is being finalized. The public pricing direction is a planning preview for storage, package delivery, and future paid plans.

Migration from Azure Artifacts

Migrate from Azure Artifacts to Ravenstash

Azure Artifacts is a natural fit for Azure DevOps feeds. Ravenstash is for teams that want private PyPI, npm, and Maven outside the Azure DevOps control plane.

Why migrate

When teams start looking beyond Azure Artifacts

Teams that use Azure DevOps for some workflows but want package hosting outside that suite.

They do not want package registry ownership tied to Azure DevOps organizations and feeds.

They use mixed CI or source hosting and want a neutral package endpoint.

They want one product surface for private package repositories, package usage, and team tokens.

Pricing angle

Compare storage, delivery, and overages together

Microsoft documents 2 GiB of free Azure Artifacts storage per organization and Azure DevOps pricing around broader service access. Ravenstash is testing package-registry-specific pricing with larger included storage and package delivery.

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

Feeds become Ravenstash repositories grouped by package ecosystem and team.
Azure Pipelines can keep publishing packages, but with Ravenstash automation tokens.
Package-manager URLs move from Azure feed endpoints to Ravenstash endpoints.

Where to be careful

Azure Artifacts can still be the right answer

Azure Artifacts may fit best when feeds, boards, repos, pipelines, and permissions all live inside Azure DevOps.

Migration path

How to move from Azure Artifacts

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

1Inventory Azure Artifacts feeds and the package types in each feed.
2Create Ravenstash repositories for PyPI, npm, and Maven packages.
3Add Ravenstash automation tokens to Azure Pipelines variable groups or your secret manager.
4Update feed URLs in package-manager configuration.
5Test restore/install and publish paths before turning down old feeds.

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.
