Is Ravenstash a full GitHub Packages 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 GitHub Packages

Migrate from GitHub Packages to Ravenstash

GitHub Packages is convenient when code and packages live together. Ravenstash fits teams that want package repositories to have their own product surface, team tokens, and package-specific usage planning.

Why migrate

When teams start looking beyond GitHub Packages

Teams that still love GitHub for code but want package management to be a dedicated service.

They want package ownership and package usage to be independent from GitHub repository layout.

They need a clearer private registry experience for PyPI, npm, and Maven teams.

They want package access tokens and package cache visibility to be managed in a dedicated place.

Pricing angle

Compare storage, delivery, and overages together

GitHub's public plan page includes package storage allowances such as 500 MB on Free, 2 GB on Team, and 50 GB on Enterprise. Ravenstash pricing is being designed for package registry usage directly, with larger included storage and delivery buckets.

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

Starter

$19/mo

small teams and serious individual projects

Storage: 50 GB storage
Delivery: 500 GB package delivery

Team

$49/mo

product teams with active CI

Storage: 250 GB storage
Delivery: 2 TB package delivery

Growth

$99/mo

platform teams with many private packages

Storage: 1 TB storage
Delivery: 5 TB package delivery

Business

$249/mo

CI-heavy organizations

Storage: 3 TB storage
Delivery: 20 TB package delivery

What changes

Most of the work is package-manager configuration

Package clients point to Ravenstash instead of GitHub package endpoints.
CI secrets use Ravenstash automation tokens.
Teams can design package repositories around release boundaries instead of GitHub repository boundaries.

Where to be careful

GitHub Packages can still be the right answer

GitHub Packages can be the easiest choice when package publishing is tightly coupled to GitHub Actions and repository permissions.

Migration path

How to move from GitHub Packages

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

1List packages currently published through GitHub Packages and their consuming repositories.
2Create Ravenstash repositories by package ecosystem.
3Move package publish secrets from GitHub package credentials to Ravenstash automation tokens.
4Update `.npmrc`, Maven settings, and Python package index configuration.
5Keep source hosting in GitHub while moving only the package registry boundary.

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.
