Registries

A registry allows you to publish your Rust libraries as crate packages, to share them with others publicly and privately.

• Crates - The official public registry for Rust/Cargo.
• Cloudsmith :heavy_dollar_sign: - A fully managed package management SaaS, with first-class support for public and private Cargo/Rust registries (plus many others). Has a generous free-tier and is also completely free for open-source.
