Artifact Hub
Artifact Hub is a CNCF incubating web-based application that enables finding, installing, and publishing cloud-native packages. Built primarily in TypeScript and Go, it addresses fragmentation in the cloud-native ecosystem by providing a single discovery experience for consumers. It supports 27+ artifact types including Helm charts, OPA policies, Falco rules, OLM operators, Tinkerbell actions, kubectl plugins, Tekton tasks, KEDA scalers, CoreDNS plugins, and more. Artifact Hub provides a searchable catalog with versioning, security reports via Trivy and Snyk, changelog tracking, and webhook notification support. Licensed under Apache 2.0 and governed by the CNCF.
Artifact Hub publishes 8 APIs on the APIs.io network, including API Keys API, Organizations API, Packages API, and 5 more. Tagged areas include Cloud Native, CNCF, Helm Charts, Package Registry, and Discovery.
Artifact Hub’s developer surface includes authentication, documentation, developer portal, release notes, and 6 more developer resources.
