Use cases

vlt was created with the needs of open source maintainers and development teams in mind.

These are some primary use cases for choosing vlt.

  1. Private registry for internal packages — Share private packages within your org, while keeping them out of the public npm registry.

  2. High-availability for critical open-source packages and libraries used by thousands of developers.

  3. Multi-registry workflows — Configure named registries in vlt to pull from npm, a private mirror, and an internal registry simultaneously, routing specific scopes (e.g. @internal/) to the right source.

  4. Supply chain protection for your team vlt offers security scanning of dependencies — Run vlt query ':malware' with our CLI to detect malware, vulnerabilities, and license issues in your dep graph via Socket integration, without leaving the CLI.

  5. Full transparency on dependencies inside package artifacts.

  6. Monorepo package management — vlt’s workspace-aware client can install, query, and manage dependencies across a multi-package monorepo with a single tool, replacing fragmented workflows.
