Switching from WCF OData to Web API

Maarten BalliauwFebruary 16, 2016Feb 16, 201602/16/16

One of the less visible changes since we released NuGet 3.0 is that NuGet uses a new server "API v3". This new API is designed around high availability for critical scenarios such as package restore and installing packages. API v3 will be the way forward for NuGet while keeping "API v2" around for older NuGet clients. We will be making a big ...

Why did my package download count suddenly go up

Maarten BalliauwSeptember 30, 2015Sep 30, 201509/30/15

Last week, we released our Revised Download Counts and Package Statistics that are now based on the raw logs of our CDN. For this to become reality, we had to also import data from our old statistics data warehouse into the new system. As it turns out, we overlooked something very important: in the old system (and by importing data, also in ...

Meet the new NuGet status page

On the server side we are working on boosting performance, scalability and reliability. We were also in need of a new status page to better communicate the status of the service. Without further ado: meet the new status.nuget.org! We're happy with this new incarnation of our status page. It not only shows whether individual services are up ...

Revised Download Counts and Package Statistics

Maarten BalliauwSeptember 24, 2015Sep 24, 201509/24/15

In the last few months we have been hard at work on the NuGet.org backend. One of the things we've done is switch to a new CDN. This work is all about reinforcing the foundations of nuget.org so we provide a better service experience and be in a position to build new features reliably. As a result we're happy to announce package statistics are...

NuGet.org server status

Yishai GalatzerJune 8, 2015Jun 8, 201506/8/15

For the last few weeks we have experienced a few hours of downtime a few times a week. The NuGet community was very engaged in sharing the issues both on Twitter, support@nuget.org, personal emails, and GitHub. We thank you for that and appreciate your patience. We realize NuGet.org is a center to many of the day to day activities of a .NET ...

A New Package Statistics Warehouse

Jeff HandleyAugust 20, 2014Aug 20, 201408/20/14

The Warehouse is Dead, Long Live the Warehouse! Back in June, we blogged that our package statistics were full of lies. We made a fix and expected reports to become correct on June 26th. When June 26th came and went though, we discovered that the numbers were still questionable. Since then, we've identified a few other issues leading to ...

The NuGet.org Architecture

Jeff HandleyJuly 11, 2014Jul 11, 201407/11/14

As part of Building NuGet 3.x, we have been working on a significant re-architecture of NuGet.org. Progress has been steady and we are starting to see a return on investment. In this post, we'll compare the legacy architecture to where we'll be in the near future. Legacy Architecture One of the goals when the NuGet Gallery project was ...

Jeff HandleyJune 26, 2014Jun 26, 201406/26/14

We've recently found ourselves answering the same question repeatedly: How do you monitor nuget.org? If you too are interested, here are the details. Monitoring Approaches We have two approaches for monitoring the gallery: External Monitoring For our external monitoring, we use Pingdom. You can see our public Pingdom status page at ...

NuGet Package Download Stats

Jeff HandleyJune 3, 2014Jun 3, 201406/3/14

Lies, Damned Lies, and Package Statistics We've been getting reports about package download statistics being inconsistent with packages' overall download counts and people have asked us which numbers to believe. We've investigated the inconsistencies and found that due to a very subtle bug, you can't trust the statistics right now, but you'll...
