Our distinguished competition took a puzzling position of “Imagine there’s no versions”. At Cloudsmith we think that’s crazy. Software development is made possible by software versions, which enable deployment and distribution, making it essential to understand and navigate complex dependency trees. Not a single one of our customers has asked us how to architect, build, and deploy versionless software, indicating that the revolution against versions hasn’t begun - and never will. With an explosion in open-source software, versioning is crucial for managing chaos. Cloudsmith was built to tackle this problem, providing better tools for tracking, managing, and understanding software dependencies. The importance of versions lies in three key areas: visibility, traceability, and compatibility, all of which are essential for effective development, deployment, and maintenance. We fundamentally believe that versions matter and will continue to build a platform that enhances our customers' understanding of versions.
