JFrog Artifactory is a repository manager that stores, distributes, and serves versioned binary packages and container images as dependencies.
Artifactory originated at JFrog in 2006, founded by Shlomi Ben Haim, Fred Simon, and Yoav Landman. It addressed the growing need to manage build artifacts centrally and independently of source code.
Artifactory is a controlled warehouse for software packages: builds publish versioned artifacts and other builds consume an exact version. Repositories, metadata, and access rules turn files into a controlled delivery supply chain.
Packages are stored centrally and organized by type or purpose.
A reproducible build output is stored with a version.
Artifacts can move through development and release stages under control.
Artifactory provides a dependable source for dependencies and build outputs in CI/CD. It improves traceability and reuse; retention, permissions, and scanning still require active operation.
