Likelihood to Recommend Well suited for small organizations to medium-sized teams/organizations. Apache Archiva is well suited for:
It acts as a central repository/proxy of the artifacts generated and used by the teams. It provides control on which open source repositories can be utilized by the team. Saves network bandwidth by reducing outbound traffic. Apache Archiva is less appropriate for organizations where immediate support/bug resolutions are required.
Read full review You are going to be able to find the most resources and examples using Docker whenever you are working with a container orchestration software like Kubernetes. There will always some entropy when you run in a container, a containerized application will never be as purely performant as an app running directly on the OS. However, in most scenarios this loss will be negligible to the time saved in deployment, monitoring, etc.
Read full review Pros It's an open source project and therefore saves cost. It allows exchange of artifacts/libraries between different teams. It allows managing internal and external repositories with ease. Read full review Packaging of application to limit the space occupied Ease of running the application Provide multiple ways to handle the application issues and integration of different components like pipeline, ansible, terraform etc Read full review Cons Muti-tenancy was hard to achieve. UI can be improved. Its seems bit dated. It is a bit tricky to setup. Read full review Docker hub image retention policy can be relaxed Docker hub policies can be more developer friendly Docker CLI help section can be improved Image and container storage (local) management can be optimized Read full review Usability I have been using Docker for more than 3 years and it really simplifies the modern application development and deployment. I like the ability of Docker to improve efficiency, portability and scalability for developers and operations teams. Another reason for giving this rating is because Docker integrates CI/CD pipelines very well
Read full review Reliability and Availability Haven't seen any outages, fatal/unrecoverable errors in my usage so far. Enough said.
Read full review Performance Docker Desktop. The CPU high usage is a known issue. Needs fixing. Otherwise, it is great overall. Would not use anything else still.
Read full review Alternatives Considered Apache Archiva is a great choice for organizations with a limited budget. Alternatives are expensive to acquire Archiva comes offers REST API(s) which allows the creation of customized UI. With Apache Archiva, it is easy to manage the remote proxy repositories. RBAC helps with managing user access to the repository. Configuration can be achieved using UI and stored in archiva.xml. Backup of configuration is quite simple.

However, the trend we foresee for the future might indicate Amazon lambda could potentially fit our needs to code enviornmentless in the near future.
Read full review Scalability It is the only tool in our toolset that has not [had] any issues so far. That is really a mark of reliability, and it's a testimony to how well the product is made, and a tool that does its job well is a tool well worth having. It is the base tool that I would say any organisation must have if they do scalable deployment.
Read full review Return on Investment The impact of Apache Archiva on ROI has been positive. Since it is open source. It is free. It has allowed teams to store artifacts centrally, thus leading to a reduced need for multiple servers Security audits can be easily performed on the artifacts. Read full review Reduces the number of virtual machine which impacted our quarterly billing Using docker with proxy we run multiple application on same port on same host. impact on billing is we have to provide docker training to the people who are working on it.
