They want a hosted package registry instead of maintaining a repository manager.
Migration from Sonatype Nexus
Migrate from Sonatype Nexus to Ravenstash
Nexus is an established repository manager. Ravenstash is the managed SaaS path when your team mainly needs private PyPI, npm, and Maven without operating the repository service.

Why migrate
When teams start looking beyond Sonatype Nexus
Teams that want managed private Python, Node, and JVM package hosting without running Nexus themselves.
They need a simpler product for private PyPI, npm, and Maven rather than a broad repository platform.
They want dashboard visibility and team tokens without owning server upgrades, storage, and operations.
Pricing angle
Compare storage, delivery, and overages together
Nexus evaluation often includes license, infrastructure, operations, support, and security-product choices. Ravenstash pricing is being designed as a hosted service with clear storage and delivery dimensions.
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
- Hosted, proxy, and group repository concepts should be mapped carefully to Ravenstash private repositories and upstream cache settings.
- CI credentials move from Nexus users or tokens to Ravenstash automation tokens.
- Operational work shifts from repository-manager maintenance to package workflow configuration.
Where to be careful
Sonatype Nexus can still be the right answer
Nexus may remain a better fit for self-managed deployments, many package formats, or advanced repository-manager controls Ravenstash does not yet offer.

Migration path
How to move from Sonatype Nexus
Start with one package ecosystem, validate publish and install paths, then move the remaining repositories with the same pattern.
- 1Export active Nexus repository configuration and package inventories.
- 2Separate private packages from proxy behavior before mapping to Ravenstash.
- 3Create Ravenstash repositories and upstream-cache settings where appropriate.
- 4Move CI and developer credentials to Ravenstash automation tokens.
- 5Migrate consumers in waves so old Nexus endpoints can remain available during validation.
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.
