Case Study: DataHub eliminates software distribution friction with Cloudsmith

DataHub streamlines software delivery for 3,000 companies with Cloudsmith

DataHub, a leading open source metadata platform, faced significant financial and operational hurdles in distributing its software to a global user base using Docker Hub. The legacy system lacked granular access controls and provided insufficient analytics, creating friction for customers and an unsustainable cost model for the early-stage startup. DataHub turned to Cloudsmith to resolve these software distribution challenges.

By implementing Cloudsmith, DataHub leveraged entitlement tokens for granular customer access control and automated security scanning. The solution eliminated deployment friction, provided predictable costs, and strengthened security, resulting in almost no support questions regarding image downloads and giving DataHub detailed visibility into how its software is consumed.
