Case Study: Font Awesome achieves reliable global package distribution with Cloudsmith

Cloudsmith enables the distribution of icon sets to Font Awesome customers across the globe

Font Awesome needed a more reliable way to distribute private packages to customers worldwide. Their in-house approach and paid NPM registry were causing uptime, performance, and cost issues, so they turned to Cloudsmith for a better package distribution solution.

Cloudsmith provided a cloud-native package distribution platform that delivered high performance, strong uptime, and support for entitlement tokens and EULAs in one system. With Cloudsmith, Font Awesome successfully transitioned to a more stable service, improved customer satisfaction, eliminated the burden of maintaining their own platform, and achieved reliable global distribution with no incidents.
