Case Study: The New England Center for Children achieves zero outages and scalable artifact management with Cloudsmith

The New England Center for Children cuts artifact outages to zero with Cloudsmith

The New England Center for Children (NECC), a non-profit autism education and research institute, was struggling to scale its self-hosted artifact repository for its ACE® educational software platform. As their microservices grew from 7 to over 40, they faced persistent outages, slow artifact retrieval, and severe storage bloat that caused multi-day downtime for their engineering team. This operational burden led them to seek a cloud-native solution from vendor Cloudsmith to improve scalability, security, and performance.

By migrating to Cloudsmith's fully-managed artifact management platform, NECC eliminated outages and achieved significant storage reductions. The solution provided seamless integration with their DevOps pipeline, fast global distribution, and an intuitive UI. This allowed their team to focus on higher-value tasks instead of maintenance. The results included zero outages since the April 2024 migration and the ability to seamlessly scale to over 100 microservices in production with Cloudsmith.
