Varnish Platform Engineering Suite
Accelerate, scale, and govern your software supply chain at machine-to-machine scale.
The New Reality: Software Delivery at Machine Speed
Modern software delivery no longer operates at human speed. CI/CD systems, AI agents, automated pipelines, and GPUs continuously pull dependencies, containers, and models from distributed ecosystems. What was once occasional downloads has become constant, 24/7 machine-to-machine (M2M) communication.
As this traffic grows, so do the stakes. Performance bottlenecks, infrastructure strain, and the rapid rise of software supply chain attacks are the new hurdles for elite engineering teams. Organizations are forced to rethink not only how they deliver artifacts but also how they control what is allowed to enter their environments.
Varnish provides a unified control layer to manage these demands. By sitting inline between your consumers and your sources, we enable platform teams to regain command over performance, cost, and security without compromising developer velocity.
Two Specialized Solutions. One Secure Delivery Plane.
Varnish Virtual Registry: Control Delivery
Accelerate and optimize artifact delivery at machine scale.
Varnish Virtual Registry sits between your consumers—developers, CI/CD systems, and AI infrastructure—and your software sources to optimize how artifacts move through your infrastructure. By serving artifacts closer to where they are consumed, it ensures your pipelines move at the speed of your code.
- Faster CI/CD Performance: Accelerate artifact access and reduce build times by serving content closer to developers and runners.
- Slash Infrastructure Costs: Reduce backend CPU load by 50% and network traffic by up to 75%.
- Origin Shielding: Offload up to 99% of requests reaching backend repositories like JFrog, Nexus, or S3.
- Improved Resilience: Maintain intelligent routing and failover to keep delivery stable during upstream outages or registry slowdowns.
Varnish Artifact Firewall: Control Access
Enforce real-time policies to prevent unsafe dependencies from entering environments.
Varnish Artifact Firewall adds runtime governance directly into your dependency and artifact access flows. Unlike traditional scanners that find issues after they are already stored, the Artifact Firewall applies enforcement in real time before artifacts enter your environment.
- Pre-Ingestion Enforcement: Allow, quarantine, or block packages at the point of request based on security policies or version controls.
- Reduce Supply Chain Risk: Stop exposure to vulnerable and malicious packages using automated vulnerability intelligence from OSV.dev.
- Zero-Friction Governance: Secure your environment without disrupting developer workflows or requiring a "rip-and-replace" of your existing registry.
- Centralized Security Policy: Manage policies declaratively via GitOps workflows with full audit visibility across your entire ecosystem.
