    Apache
    It's a relatively simple version control system so it works great for an individual or small team (less than 10 people). But if you have a medium to large team, especially one with members distributed over a large geographic area, or one where individuals need to be able to work "offline" without access to a central server, Apache Subversion will likely not be the best choice.
    Also, if you're maintaining an open-source project where outside people will be interacting with your code repository, git is probably a better choice because it's becoming the de-facto standard these days and what most developers are familiar with.

    We have a small team with limited resources and it worked well for us. Hence I can conclude that AWS Code Artifact are well suited for organizations which have limited resources in terms of hardware and access to administrators for setting up artifact repository in-house. AWS Code Artifact is also suited particularly well for organization(s) which are already using AWS Services/Infrastructure (eg. EC2) . It works quite well with existing AWS services and completes the gap which existed in AWS offering for quite some time. Organizations can move their entire DevOps toolchain and infrastructure to Amazon. It is less appropriate for organization(s) which rely on artifacts like Debian, C/C++, Go etc as AWS does not support those fully.

    Pros
    Apache
    • Revision control done properly - you have end to end visibility of all changes in the project.
    • Conflict resolution - visually highlighting the differences helps to track down the problem.
    • Being open source and very popular.
    • We are using SVN hosted in our network - it is very stable, we had almost zero downtime in 4 years.
    • Rollbacks are made simple and easy to use.

    • Code Artifact comes with out of the box security. Using RBAC and encryption
    • Total cost of usage is less than setting up in-house servers
    • It is accessible from any where.. so no additional network setup is required.

    Cons
    Apache
    • Distributed development - I've never worked in an environment where distributed development (developers widely scattered geographically) was a factor, but that's why git exists.
    • Merging - Merging of code from one branch to another can be painful, especially if it's not done frequently. (On the other hand, doing merges is one of the reasons I get a nice salary, so I can't complain too much!)
    • Acceptance - Let's face it, git is what "all the cool kids are using." If you've got a bunch of developers fresh out of school, they'll probably know git and not Subversion.

    • CodeArtifact does not support packages like debian. It will be nice to see them support that.
    • Does not provide security scanning of the packages
    • Lacks support for third party CI/CD toolchain like Jenkins

    While there are interesting alternatives, such a GIT, Subversion has been a breath of fresh air compared to its predecessors like CVS or Microsoft Source Safe (now called Team Foundation Server). Its ease of use and high adoption rate is going to keep me using this product for years to come.

    Git has become the new standard of version control, with its support for distributed design. As a tool to manage and control versions, Subversion does it well, but Git is the future.

    AWS CodeArtifact is an excellent choice for organization(s) which are looking to move their infrastructure and devops toolchain to Amazon. It is very useful for teams/organizations on limited budget or do not want to take on infrastructure and maintenance costs associated with the artifact repository. Other software solutions require resources for setting up and need ongoing maintenance.

    • Subversion helps us feel secure in maintaining access to all of our product code, both current and historical.
    • Being free and open source makes it an even better "investment".

    • Overall CodeArtifact has positive ROI on the our team. We had limited budget for procurement of server/administrators. With CodeArtifact we were able to get some savings.
    • We were able to deliver faster hence customers were quite happy. That led to customer satisfaction
    • We didnt have to invest on maintaining network infrastructure/uptime and security. That saved us quite a bit of hassle and funds.
