Digital artifact distribution and licensing at a global scale for Font Awesome

Font Awesome’s business relies on the distribution of digital artifacts - fonts and icons - to customers in a timely, reliable fashion. That wasn’t a use case supported by conventional artifact management platforms, and attempting to build a solution in-house was causing ongoing issues around uptime and performance.

That in turn meant real issues around customer satisfaction and rapidly escalating costs associated with keeping the platform up. Font Awesome turned to Cloudsmith to address these issues and deliver outstanding levels of performance and reliability to all their customers. As a cloud-native package distribution network, Cloudsmith supports high-performance integration of Font Awesome packages anywhere in the world and delivers best in class availability and uptime figures. Meanwhile support for entitlement tokens and end user license agreements (EULAs) meant that Cloudsmith handled the commercial aspects of Font Awesome’s model as part of a single solution.
