We are using packagecloud.io with open-source plan for https://milter-manager.osdn.jp/ For every new milter-manager release, we don't need to maintain our own APT/YUM repository by ourselves anymore. As milter-manager is developed for a long time, the repository also contains many packages, it takes disk space a lot. packagecloud.io provides enough disk spaces for keeping milter-manager repository. And one more thing, we don't need to maintain signing-key by ourself.

Easy setup, straightforward CLI tool, nice customer-facing UI

Packagecloud makes deploying package repositories simple. I am the TSC Chair of the FD.io Open Source Project. We publish deb and rpm packages as part of both our CI and release process for VPP (Vector Packet Processing) and other subprojects. Packageclouds easy to use API made integrating into our CI process easy and enjoyable. The breadth of language bindings allowed us to fit packagecloud into our process rather than molding our process to packagecloud. Prior to using packagecloud we'd tried other tools, like Nexus, for artifact hosting but they were a nightmare to work with and maintain. Packagecloud's hosted approach removed the headache of maintaining a repository. The thoughtful team mechanisms provided allowed us to provide just the right access to our CI processes and community members to get the job done. I cannot recommend Packagecloud highly enough.
