Introducing Support for Hex Packages

JFrog has always prioritized universality, ensuring software development teams have true freedom of choice. Core to the JFrog Platform, JFrog Artifactory is the world’s most versatile artifact manager, natively supporting nearly 40 package types.

After taking in valuable feedback from the developer community, we’re thrilled to discuss how we’re further expanding our universe with the support of Hex packages. Now, you can bring your Hex packages into JFrog Artifactory for trusted software delivery at scale.

What is Hex?

Hex is a package manager for the BEAM ecosystem, supporting programming languages including Elixir and Erlang.

Elixir and Erlang both power software applications that demand high consistency, concurrency, and scalability – such as messaging, telecommunications, financial services, and gaming.

Available Now – Support for Hex Repositories

Hex is now available as a package type in the JFrog Platform

JFrog Artifactory now supports Hex repositories. We do this by caching the Hex.pm public registry and seamlessly serve it up to Hex’s build tool, Mix, to ensure your Hex packages deliver amazing software experiences to your customers.
