What if the center of the meff drops forever?

Question

In my work, we are working on various projects, and most of them are now maven projects. Sometimes, I think what happens if suddenly the Maven Central repository goes down forever.

Now there are various scenarios in which it may fall, including a natural disaster, a fire event, etc.

As far as I know, companies in the United Kingdom have a Business Continuity Management certificate, which means they have business plans in the event of any disaster.

I tried searching the web but could not find this information on the Maven website.

Do they have such a certificate? Do they guarantee that they will work on their server forever?

Any answer would be appreciated.

Answer 1

As noted in the comments, there are mirrors, but if this is an operational problem for you or your business, the solution is simple; host your own repository.

There are at least two freely available tools for this. I prefer Artifactory as well as Nexus .

You have configured all internal maven clients to connect to it instead of repositories elsewhere. Then your repository goes to Maven central et. al and caches these artifacts.

This way you will always have access to all the artifacts that you used. If Maven Central leaves, you will not be left with broken assemblies.

Answer 2

Maven - , . Artifactory, Nexus .
