Google Cloud Artifact Registry
Artifact Registry is Google Cloud’s unified, fully managed package and container registry designed for high-performance artifact storage and dependency management. It centralizes hosting of container images (Docker/OCI), Helm charts, language packages (Java/Maven, Node.js/npm, Python), and OS packages, offering fast, scalable, reliable, and secure handling with built-in vulnerability scanning and IAM-based access control. Integrated seamlessly with Google Cloud CI/CD tools like Cloud Build, Cloud Run, GKE, Compute Engine, and App Engine, it supports regional and virtual repositories with granular security via VPC Service Controls and customer-managed encryption keys. Developers benefit from standardized Docker Registry API support, comprehensive REST/RPC interfaces, and migration paths from Container Registry.

Yarn
Yarn is a package manager which doubles down as project manager. Whether you work on one-shot projects or large monorepos, as a hobbyist or an enterprise user, we've got you covered. Split your project into sub-components kept within a single repository. Yarn guarantees that an install that works now will continue to work the same way in the future. Yarn cannot solve all your problems, but it can be the foundation for others to do it. We believe in challenging the status quo. What should the ideal developer experience be like? Yarn is an independent open-source project tied to no company. Your support makes us thrive. Yarn already knows everything there is to know about your dependency tree, it even installs it on the disk for you. So, why is it up to Node to find where your packages are? Instead, it should be the package manager's job to inform the interpreter about the location of the packages on the disk and manage any dependencies between packages and even versions of packages.

Although nuget.exe works fully on Windows, there are known issues with Linux and OS X. The primary source for learning about a package is its listing page on NuGet (or another private feed). Each package page on NuGet includes a description of the package, its version history, and usage statistics.
