Case Study: RabbitMQ achieves faster artifact distribution and more innovation with Cloudsmith

How Cloudsmith has improved artifact management and distribution for one of the world's leading messaging brokers

RabbitMQ, a subsidiary of VMware, faced the challenge of managing its own outdated and complex package publishing and distribution infrastructure. This self-hosted system required significant maintenance, throttled productivity, and prevented their team from focusing on core innovation. They needed a modern solution to simplify artifact management and ensure compatibility across the myriad of Linux distributions they support.

Cloudsmith provided its fully-managed artifact management and distribution platform. The solution automated packaging and publishing with a modern API, freeing the RabbitMQ team from manual processes. The results included time savings and fast, reliable distribution, enabling over 210,000 client downloads per month and handling 502GB of open-source downloads monthly.
