Software Supply Chain Automation

Nexus Repository is the central point of storage and exchange for your organization's components, to automate and manage your software supply chain throughout your software development lifecycle.

Modern software development has shifted from writing new code to using components to assemble applications. This approach limits the amount of code authorship to the business-specific aspects of your software.

A large number of open-source components in the form of libraries, reusable widgets, whole applications, or application servers are available with high levels of quality and feature sets that could not be implemented as a side effect of your business application development. For example, creating a new web application framework and business workflow system just to create a website with a publishing workflow would be extremely inefficient.

Development starts with the selection of suitable components for your projects based on comprehensive information about the components and their characteristics. Nexus Repository includes features, such as the display of security vulnerabilities as well as license analysis results within search results, and the Repository Health Check reports for a proxy repository.

Software supply chain automation progresses through your daily development efforts, your continuous integration builds, and your release processes to your applications deployed in production environments at your clients or your infrastructure.
