About Sonatype

The Sonatype journey started 15 years ago, just as the concept of “open source” software development was gaining steam. From their humble beginning as core contributors to Apache Maven, to supporting the world’s largest repository of open source components (Central), to distributing the world’s most popular repository manager (Sonatype Nexus Repository), they’ve played a meaningful role in helping the world embrace the power of open innovation.

Over time, they witnessed the staggering volume and variety of open source libraries that began flowing into every development environment in the world. Sonatype understood that when open source components are properly managed, they provide a tremendous energy for accelerating innovation. Conversely, when unmanaged, open source “gone wild”​ can lead directly to security vulnerabilities, licensing risks, enormous rework, and waste.

Sonatype’s vision today is simple.

They are laser focused on helping organizations continuously harness all of the good that open source has to offer, without any of the risk. In order to do this, they have invested in knowing more about the quality of open source than anyone else in the world. This investment takes the form of machine learning, artificial intelligence, and human expertise, which in aggregate produces highly curated intelligence that is infused into every Sonatype product. Organizations equipped with Sonatype products make better decisions, innovate faster at scale, and rest comfortably knowing that their applications always consist of the highest quality open source components.
