JFrog Smart Archiving

The Immutable Archive for an Audit Ready, Cost-Optimized, Single System of Record

End-of-life governance for software artifacts that helps you meet retention requirements while preserving the performance of your software delivery system in the AI era.

Archiving as a Service

 JFrog maintains your archive so you don’t have to

Policy Driven Automation

Create automated policies validated with dry runs

Maintain Context

Easily restore artifacts with complete metatada intact

 

THE CHALLENGE

Artifact Debt Is a Growing Liability

AI-driven development generates artifacts faster than teams can manage them. Bloated repositories slow builds, inflate storage costs, and expand your security risk surface with every dormant, unpatched release.

Regulations require full provenance including metadata, attestations, and permissions, retained and auditable for a decade or more. Use of ad hoc approaches can’t possibly keep pace.

THE SOLUTION

Full End-of-Life Governance

Frog Smart Archiving automatically moves end-of-life releases into costoptimized long-term storage with full metadata, attestations, and build evidence intact for one-click restore.

The result is a lean, performant operational instance, airtight audit readiness, and a clean system of record that you can trust, even when using automated AI tools.
