Bintray, JCenter, GoCenter, and ChartCenter

Business Profile

Core Value Proposition

Bintray provides the open source community a free, universal cloud platform for publishing and distributing binaries.

Target Customer

Open source developers and communities (e.g., Java OSS via JCenter; Go and Helm communities).

Key Differentiator

Free universal cloud platform for publishing and distributing binaries across multiple ecosystems (Java, Go, charts), historically hosting JCenter, GoCenter, and ChartCenter as central repositories.

Implementation Timeline

Sunset/migration phases identified: Feb 28, 2021 (no more submissions to GoCenter and ChartCenter); March 31, 2021 (no more submissions to JCenter); April 12–26, 2021 (service brown-outs/reminders); May 1, 2021 (Bintray services no longer available; GoCenter/ChartCenter unavailable to non-Artifactory clients).

Pain Points

1Need for a centralized platform to publish and distribute binary artifacts for OSS projects.

2Single source of truth that brings together DevOps, DevSecOps, and MLOps teams.
3Ecosystem integrations and partnerships (ServiceNow, GitHub, NVIDIA, Docker, Maven, etc.).
4ML/AI capabilities within the broader JFrog Platform (ML Build, Train, Secure, Deploy, Serve and Monitor ML Models and GenAI).
