We were contacted by NPM to switch our Enterprise account from self hosted, to hosted by NPM.
There is two problems with this for where I work.
1. What if NPM goes bust? what happens to our packages?
2. What if NPM gets hacked? what happens to our packages?
3. The increase in price was HUGE.. which was probably the reason for forcing us to migrate to their new cloud hosted option.
Look it's an open secret at this point that NPM is in trouble, it's fired a bunch of staff, other staff have quit. The new CEO is all about profit, and its just the beginning.
Here's what we did.
We spun up a nexus instance
https://www.sonatype.com/download-oss-sonatype https://www.sonatype.com/download-oss-sonatype
It has a NPM plugin, so we get our private repo .. we host it ourselves.. it's exactly what we want.
Honestly if you're an Enterprise customer, this is something to consider
