Is Ravenstash a full Google Artifact Registry 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 Google Artifact Registry

Migrate from Google Artifact Registry to Ravenstash

Google Artifact Registry works naturally for Google Cloud projects. Ravenstash is for teams that want private package hosting outside the GCP project, billing account, and region model.

Why migrate

When teams start looking beyond Google Artifact Registry

Teams that run outside GCP, use several clouds, or want package ownership independent of Google Cloud project administration.

They want package registry ownership that is not buried in GCP projects and billing accounts.

They serve developers, CI, or customers outside Google Cloud and want a clearer internet delivery story.

They want one Ravenstash dashboard for private Python, JavaScript, and JVM package workflows.

Pricing angle

Compare storage, delivery, and overages together

Google Artifact Registry charges for storage and data transfer with location-dependent rules. Ravenstash pricing is being shaped around larger included storage and delivery buckets so CI-heavy usage is easier to reason about.

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

Registry URLs move from regional or multi-regional Google endpoints to Ravenstash package endpoints.
Release jobs use Ravenstash automation tokens rather than Google Cloud identity setup.
Teams can treat upstream cache and package usage as package-management concerns, not project infrastructure.

Where to be careful

Google Artifact Registry can still be the right answer

GAR can still fit teams whose package consumers and runtimes are tightly colocated inside Google Cloud.

Migration path

How to move from Google Artifact Registry

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

1Export the active Artifact Registry repositories and package formats your team actually uses.
2Create Ravenstash repositories for PyPI, npm, and Maven workloads.
3Move CI secrets to Ravenstash automation tokens.
4Update package-manager registry configuration in developer docs, build images, and release pipelines.
5Check install latency and cache behavior before switching all jobs.

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.
