How to choose a storage location for build artifacts during development?

The choice of storage location for build artifacts depends on several factors:

• Availability and reliability: artifacts should be stored in a location with high availability and backup.
• Integration with CI/CD: it is better to use storage that easily integrates with your build system (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI).
• Security: it is important to control access to artifacts, especially if they contain sensitive data.
• Scalability and cost: consider the volume of artifacts and storage costs.

Popular options:

• Artifact repositories: Nexus Repository, Artifactory — specialized solutions for storing and managing artifacts.
• Cloud storage: Amazon S3, Google Cloud Storage — convenient for scalable storage.
• Built-in CI/CD solutions: GitLab Packages, GitHub Packages.

Example: in Jenkins, you can configure artifact publication to Nexus to ensure centralized storage and version management.
