Update 6/22 (2:15 P.M PST): We have a lot of feedback coming in from the community on this topic. This change will not have any impact for another 90 days at the minimum. We are reviewing your feedback and will discuss further how to achieve our goal of improved security of NuGet.org. We will have an update within the next 45 days. To continue the ...
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 change...
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 the new...
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 or no...
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 back...
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 develo...
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 invalid st...
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 started in ...
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 http://...
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 be a...
