Ravenstash
Migration from Packagecloud

Migrate from Packagecloud to Ravenstash

Packagecloud has straightforward plans, but storage and bandwidth can become the planning problem. Ravenstash is testing larger included storage and delivery for private PyPI, npm, and Maven teams.

Why migrate

When teams start looking beyond Packagecloud

Teams whose package traffic is concentrated in PyPI, npm, and Maven and whose CI downloads are outgrowing small included bandwidth tiers.

They want larger included storage and package delivery before overages begin.

They want a focused Ravenstash dashboard for current private package workflows.

They want to avoid planning around small storage and bandwidth tiers as CI traffic grows.

Pricing angle

Compare storage, delivery, and overages together

Packagecloud's public page lists paid plans from $89/month to $699/month with storage and bandwidth overages. Ravenstash is testing pricing with a more approachable entry point and 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.

What changes

Most of the work is package-manager configuration

  • Packagecloud repository URLs are replaced with Ravenstash registry URLs.
  • Release jobs use Ravenstash automation tokens.
  • Package owners can use Ravenstash's repository and package views for cleanup and usage visibility.
Where to be careful

Packagecloud can still be the right answer

Packagecloud supports additional package ecosystems that Ravenstash does not support today.

Migration path

How to move from Packagecloud

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

  1. 1Identify active Packagecloud repositories and package formats.
  2. 2Create Ravenstash repositories for supported PyPI, npm, and Maven packages.
  3. 3Replace Packagecloud tokens in CI with Ravenstash automation tokens.
  4. 4Move publish jobs first, then install jobs, so new releases land in Ravenstash.
  5. 5Retire Packagecloud URLs after downstream services have regenerated lockfiles or verified installs.
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.
