## What it is
Verdaccio is a lightweight, zero-config private npm proxy registry built in Node.js. It hosts private packages, proxies and caches upstream registries like npmjs.org, and works with npm, yarn, and pnpm clients.

## Use cases
- host private npm packages for my company
- cache npm registry packages to speed up CI installs
- run a local npm registry for offline development
- proxy npmjs.org through a single internal endpoint
- override a third-party npm package with a patched version
- set up a private registry with Docker or Kubernetes

## When to choose
- you need private package publishing without running a full database
- you want to cache npm dependencies for faster, more reliable installs
- you need to chain multiple upstream registries behind one endpoint
- you want a lightweight registry deployable via Docker or Helm

## When to avoid
- you need a full-featured enterprise artifact manager with multi-format support (consider Nexus or Artifactory)
- you need high-availability clustering out of the box
- you only consume public packages and don't need caching or private packages

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: active
- function: http-server, caching, proxy, auth, package-manager, self-hosted, cli, plugin-system
- domain: developer-tools, self-hosted, security, web-development
- platform: self-hosted, cli, cross-platform
- tags: npm-registry, private-registry, registry-proxy, monorepo, offline-cache, helm-chart, yarn, pnpm, devops, nodejs, docker, kubernetes
