  Artifact Hub is a CNCF incubating web-based application that enables finding,
  installing, and publishing cloud-native packages. Built primarily in TypeScript
  and Go, it addresses fragmentation in the cloud-native ecosystem by providing
  a single discovery experience for consumers. It supports 27+ artifact types
  including Helm charts, OPA policies, Falco rules, OLM operators, Tinkerbell
  actions, kubectl plugins, Tekton tasks, KEDA scalers, CoreDNS plugins, and more.
  Artifact Hub provides a searchable catalog with versioning, security reports via
  Trivy and Snyk, changelog tracking, and webhook notification support. Licensed
  under Apache 2.0 and governed by the CNCF.
