Chose Chocolatey
On OSX machines we use brew which works if compared to Chocolatey, a lot better. You could see that on Windows machines the idea of a command line-based software installation tool is not very common, especially if you want to use tools like Python or other scripting languages.

Chose Chocolatey
The big reason I picked Chocolatey was the fact that npm and Maven are not well-suited for native windows environments. I had to run on a Windows Server virtual machine, so was limited by what I could use, and I did not want to install WSL on the machine. So, I picked …

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.

Chocolately is perfect if you need a robust, well-supported (by the community) package manager. It has basically every major library/tool that you need to do development. I used it specifically in UI test automation.

Cons
  • 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

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.

Return on 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
